Faith is a verb

Ok, so I am completely feeling like the father of the posessed boy who told Jesus, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" It is interesting to me that I can know without a shadow of a doubt what God is telling me to do but still question His ability to work out the details. I am a control freak, for sure, and it becomes more obvious to me every day during this time of transition that I have a hard time completely letting go and letting God deal with every detail. I know that God is faithful, but I have a hard time being full of faith in regards to his faithfulness. How is it that I can be willing to trust enough to make a long distance move, but not enough to trust Him to provide everything I need in the meantime?

Lifesong

Casting Crowns

Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord, I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you
