I don't have trouble putting my trust in God. Where I get screwed up is the idea that I can just tell Him what he's going to do for me. Maybe things will get better and I will end up happy. Maybe there's a reason God wants to keep putting these sort of hard hits in my path. If I sit here and say "God's going to do X, Y, and Z for me." it will still ultimately be up to Him. I've got to be braced for any outcome.

You can claim His promises. But his thoughts and ways are higher than mans amd ot is not in a man to direct his own steps.
People get screwed up coming upmwith five senses solutions and then telling God to endorse them.
