God is our Father. He is the perfect father and yet many people still blame him for the ups and downs and injustices of life. When they pray and they don't seem to get the answers they want right away, they may get angry or may even doubt God, his love and existence.
As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God, because he was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him, in peace, to work alone;
I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried, "How can you be so slow?
"My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go."

God does so much better than we could imagine and as we grow, we learn to yield to what's best. Yielding to God's love brings great peace to our lives.
There are some things we hang on tightly to for a lot of different reasons. Our environment and culture exert certain pressures on our minds to cause us to be unsure, lack confidence and commit to 'quick fixes'. The bottom line is fear. But!:
There is no fear (terror, panic flight) in love (Godly love) ; but perfect (mature, completed) love casteth (with force and effort) out fear: .1 John 4:18a
