Amy Carmichael, missionary to India's children, said her ability to trust God began with her confidence in God's character. She believed that God is, first and always, a loving Father. She believed God was in control, and everything He allowed into her life was ultimately for her good. And as she “tucked herself into God” by trusting Him as a little child, she believed He was able to carry her through all things.
Like Amy Carmichael, we need to place our confidence in God's character, to trust that He is in control, that He is wise, and that He cares deeply for every circumstance we are in.
