Confident Trust

"It seems best to have a sort of open-ended waiting, whereby we wait expectantly for what God is going to do. Instead of focussing on our wishes we focus on hoping: a confident trust that God will be good and do good. And we let him determine the shape and the timing of that goodness. This enables us to live fully in the present moment even as we are aware something new may unfold in the future. By anxiously trying to control the future and childishly insisting that God fulfil all our wishes, we lose sight of what God might be doing in the present. We pay attention to the present rather than worrying about the future." - David Reay
