Brant Hansen on Not Trusting God Enough

Brant:You are welcome here. Whether you are a Christian self-described or not, or an atheist, agnostic, whatever. We're just glad to have you be a part of things. We do talk a lot about Jesus. We think he's it. And he's incredibly compelling. He told us not to worry about stuff. So, what is it you think your worry comes from?Sherri:My worry and anxiety. I've been wrestling with this a lot lately, comes from, and I had to get to the bottom of it, is my lack of control. I'm not controlling it and that's worrying me. For me. Whatever it is and the things that my it. It's the fact that I can't control the outcome of something, and that's where the source of my anxiety's coming. And I really had to battle with that because then that means at the core, man, it's so hard to say, I don't trust God enough, for me.Brant:I think a whole lot of people feel that way.Sherri:It's hard to say.Brant:I think that is so common. It is true. I'm glad you said that because it is about trusting God. Like, do you actually think that he'll do a better job than you will of controlling, and I've heard that said about worry, that worry is effectively saying, I don't trust God to do what I know is the right thing.Sherri:Yeah. I have a list and he's not... I don't know that he's going to follow it.Brant:It's true. I know how this is supposed to go and I don't think, God, I just don't trust him to do it. Right. I know how it's supposed to go. He may not do it. Instead of thinking maybe he's got the bigger picture. I appreciate you being honest. I think everybody can relate to that.
