Interesting question.  Last week I had a problem that had me so upset I could barely think.  I tried many different ways to solve the problem but everywhere I turned I ran into a roadblock.  In fact, it was unbelievable the things that happened that kept me from correcting the problem.  I finally got the feeling that God was telling me to stop trying to fix it and instead have faith that He would take care of me.   I just decided to stop trying to solve it and let the bad thing happen.  Guess what?  The situation did resolve itself by a series of very strange turn of events.  Sorry, not trying to be cryptic, but it was a situation that I am not comfortable disclosing.

Let's just say that there were too many strange circumstances for it not to be a message to me that I need to stop trying to play God and have more faith that He has my back.

Very interesting comment samrhett2.  In my opinion, we try so hard to "fix" things that we get in our own way.  When God is trying to tell us something, we are too busy trying to "fix" things, we fail to listen.  Sometimes we have to step back and let things take their own course and let it work itself out.  Sometimes we just need to wait.  I am happy things turned out in your favor.   :thumbsup:
