It is a joy to see young children grow in confidence...is speaking, in handling a ball and bat, in making friends, in school work, in themselves. Can we imagine the joy it brings to God when he sees us, his "children" grow in our confidence in our relationship with him as expressed in our prayer, our trust in his plan and in the ease with which we face each day's new and often unexpected challenges? We don't usually think of it from God's perspective, but keep chiding ourselves for our lack of confidence. It doesn't hurt, surely to keep asking for an increase of it, but if we take some time to look back at all the times we, with God's help, made it through what we considered "the impossible" we will approach the next challenge with a more complete assurance that the God who has brought us thus far through thick and thin, will not abandon us now. Lord, open our eyes to see your guiding presence in all things so that we may proceed this day with greater confidence.
