“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lea=
n not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5
=
Mondays ofte=
n come with a plan. We know what needs to get done, what problems need to b=
e solved, and what we hope the week will look like. There’s nothing w=
rong with planning—but Proverbs 3:5 reminds us where our confidence s=
hould ultimately rest.
Trusting God doesn’t mean we understand eve=
rything He is doing. In fact, trust becomes most important when we =
don’t understand. We may not know why a door closed, why som=
ething is taking longer than expected, or why the path ahead looks differen=
t than we imagined.
Our natural response is to rely on what we can see, p=
redict, and control. But God invites us to something different: depend=
ence instead of control.
As you begin a new week, identify one thing you&=
#8217;re trying too hard to control. Maybe it’s a decision, a relatio=
nship, your work, your finances, your family, or simply uncertainty about w=
hat comes next. Bring it to God and pray: “Lord, I don’t f=
ully understand what You are doing, but I trust You. Give me wisdom for wha=
t I can do today and faith to leave the rest with You.”
