Faith, Trust, and...Pixie Dust?

Trust.

It seems to be a problem of mine, or else Jesus wouldn't bring it up so often.
"As the scripture says, 'Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.'" Romans 10:11
I'm terrified to say everything is going to be all right.  I believe Jesus told me so, but what if I say it and it doesn't actually happen?  Does that mean my faith is smaller than a mustard seed, because I'm facing a mountain and it doesn't seem to be moving so much?

How big is faith like a mustard seed anyway?

They say that if you have enough faith to ask some one if they need prayer, you have faith at least as big as a mustard seed.  The mountain you pray for will be moved.

I have faith to pray for this situation. 

God said it will happen, but it hasn't yet.  Now I have to trust. 

The bible says to trust with "all your heart."  How do I trust with all my heart when my heart is aching because the very thing that I'm praying for is ripping it apart?

I simply need to remember I wont be put to shame.  I wont be embarrassed, or teased, laughed at or ridiculed.  I just need to trust.

Wouldn't it be easier if everyone I know with tough stuff going on could fly away from these situations and take a break from all the crap that makes our lives suck on a daily basis?

Sadly, there is no such thing as pixie dust. 

Back to plan A; I need to learn to trust.
