Trusting the Lord

Numerous people have asked me if I was nervous when Matt was in Brazil, especially after the leader of the trip was mugged and knocked out by a machete. Truly, I was not. I really trusted that the Lord was watching over the trip and that His will would be done. However, I horribly fail to trust in the Lord in the small annoyances of life. Our fire detectors are not working properly. Randomly, they go off (not just the chirp, the full siren). While it's annoying during the day, it's horrifying to wake to at night. I have found no peace today, as I have attempted to fix this problem. My mind is consumed by it and my day has revolved around it. In the grand scheme of things, this is so silly. Worst case scenario, we live through this for a couple more days and pay an electrician to fix the problem. Why don't I lay these things at the feet of Jesus and trust that He knows. Big or small, He knows. Did I miss opportunity today to glorify Him because I was preoccupied by the cylinders on my ceiling???
