Like children with broken toys running to their parents, we sometimes run to God and show Him our failures, hoping that He would mend them.

He says, "My child, worry not. I will work everything out for you".
Assured, we go about our lives, hoping and praying everyday that He will indeed work out a tangible solution to our problems. We believe that while God figures something out, we can do something to fix things up. So we look for alternatives and explore possible solutions.
Days come and go, and still no distinct answer from God suffices. On our side, there is no sign of success from all our endeavors.
We grow impatient, and run back to Him in frustration, perhaps anger.
We say, "God, you said that you will work something out. But I do not see anything. Come, give it back to me. I will work everything out by myself."
God answered, "My child, how could I have done anything? You kept holding on your broken toys, and did not release them from your hands in the first place!"
Sometimes, we think we can "help" God find a solution to our miseries and problems, but He never works that way. When He says, "Leave it to me", He desires our total faith in Him. All we can do is pray, sit back, and watch Him work. Let me tell you this: He works WONDERS!
