Most men do not struggle because they lack information. Most men struggle because they lack certainty. We want to know how things will turn out. We want guarantees before obedience. We want assurance before surrender. We want clarity before trust. Yet throughout Scripture, God repeatedly invited men to follow Him without providing every detail first. Abraham was asked to wait. Jacob was forced to face his past. Elijah experienced fear after victory. Peter failed publicly. David lived with consequences. Thomas struggled to trust what he could not see. Different stories. Different struggles. Different fears. Yet every one of them eventually faced the same question: Can God be trusted when I don't have control? When uncertainty increases, men often respond by trying to regain control. Anxiety rises. Frustration grows. Relationships become strained. Some withdraw. Others become consumed with fixing problems. Many experience several of these reactions at the same time, all while struggling to trust God with what they cannot control. The visible behaviors are often not the root. They are the fruit. The roots usually run much deeper: - Distrust - Self-reliance - Fear of failure - Fear of disappointment - Fear of consequences - Fear of vulnerability - The desire for certainty - The need for control This study is not about six great men of faith. It is about six men who discovered what every man eventually learns: Trust is not proven when everything makes sense. Trust is proven when it doesn't. This study will be presented on my website in the coming days as 6 different articles. Go to: anchoredformation.com

My answer is yes. But saying it and acting on it can be two different things entirely. Your thoughts?
