Pastor, I very strongly agree with the biblical principles and applications in this lesson. My experience affirms the absolute necessity for patience in faith, waiting on God and heeding the warnings to NOT take things into our own hands when it seems God is not acting or moving at my speed or at my direction. It's not always easy, but the final outcome of my plan is far poorer (and sometimes has devastating consequences) than God's perfect plan for me, even if His plan is nothing near what I think I wanted. He is exceedingly wise and faithful.
If it was easy, Erin, it would not require much faith. That is the point. Like you said, our faith grasps the fact that His judgment is wiser than ours.
