Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Have you ever felt lost or uncertain about the future ahead? Perhaps you’re facing a difficult decision or going through a challenging season in your life. In these moments it’s easy to rely on our own understanding and try to control the outcome. But God’s Word encourages us to do the opposite i.e patiently trust in Him.

Trusting in God’s direction requires surrender and humility. It means acknowledging that our ways are not always the best ways and that God’s plans are far greater than our own. When we submit to God’s guidance, He promises to make our paths straight. This doesn’t mean that the journey will always be easy, but it does mean that we can trust in God’s goodness and wisdom.

What does trusting in God’s direction mean? It means seeking God’s guidance through prayer and study of Scriptures. It means being willing to take risks and step out in faith, even when the outcome is uncertain. And it means trusting that God is working everything out for your good, even when we can’t see the bigger picture.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word today. Let’s ask Him to help us trust in His direction and to surrender our own understanding. Let’s ask Him to give us courage to take the risk and step out in faith.
