Do I trust that God knows my needs?
Do I believe that God can meet my needs?
Do I believe that God loves me and will give me what I need?

My spiritual director showed me a picture like this and those were the questions that came to mind.  
When my eyes hit the photo, my mind hit the verse that talks about how God feeds the birds… 

“Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!”  (Lk 12:24)

I was challenged to think about the fact that I was the bird in the hands of the God who has proved Himself faithful over and over again.  Why do I not seek to have my needs met in Him?  Why do I continually fly around desparately looking for food that never quite hits the spot, when the food that has been specifically designed for my pallet is sitting there in an open hand?

Do I not trust that God knows my needs?
Do I not believe that God can meet my needs?
Do I not believe that God loves me and will give me what I need? 

Those are the rhetorical questions that rang in my head as I saw this picture and experienced the subtext of my current situation playing in the background.  Of course I did belive those things about God, He had proved it to me…so what went wrong?  

Continental drift is all I can think of…that imperceptibly slow coasting away from the source of life.
