A Leap of Faith

I looked up, watching my small son Zalman run on the playground equipment high above the ground.  I held my arms up and out, challenging him to jump down into them.  His face broke into a big smile and, trusting my security with every fiber in his little being, allowed himself to literally fall/jump--straight into my arms.
 
What would happen, I wondered, if we trusted with every fiber of our being that G-d truly will take care of us, our loved ones, our needs--specifically during the times in our lives when we are faced with fearful jumps, or generally, when we dwell on the disconcerting fact that we have no control over our fate?  Perhaps we wouldn't be as fearful, it wouldn't bother us as much that we have no control, we'd be at peace with our vulnerability, because G-d is there to catch us.
