Beliefs-the key to health

It has been over a month since I wrote “The Core Needs of Mankind”. This post is a continuation, so if you need a refresher, go back and reread that post. All of my needs are met in Christ. Do I know this? Do I live as if this were true? Do I see it with my eyes? In answer to all of these questions, I would have to say, “Sometimes.” Thankfully, in the last couple of years, I am able to say, “More often than not.” And I have been rewarded for that faith. But it has been VERY difficult. I find it almost painful to trust God. And why is that? Because I have a head full of beliefs that scream the opposite: Born in self-sufficiency. I want to be strong and capable! I want to do things my way. I want to be able to control my life. I often believe that the people around me are preventing me from being blessed, and I want to do something to change them. I question God’s goodness. I just want my problems fixed
