Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. –Proverbs 3:5-6
I’m not good at this. In my life what I find is that when the road ahead seems uncertain, that’s when I lean on my own understanding. So often I start coming up with plans and strategies to figure out the best way forward on my own. And you know what? It almost never works out the way I plan.
All the while, God is telling me to stop leaning on my own understanding; that if I would just trust Him with all my heart, he would make the path ahead clear! That’s what God wants to do for each of us!
I don’t know what uncertainty is looming before you, but I do know that God wants to make the path ahead straight for you. And he will, if you’ll trust in him.
Pray this prayer:
Father, I admit that I lean on my own understanding way too much. Help me to stop. Help me to simply trust in you, knowing that you’ll show me the way forward. Amen.
