Resting and Trust

"Resting is 'casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you' (1 Peter 5:7) and learning to be content no matter what the circumstances (Phil. 4:11)--not necessarily being delighted with the circumstances but being able to say, 'God is in charge, I have prayed about it, He knows my need, I am obeying to the best of my knowledge. I can rest.'"
