Proverbs 3:5-6 — '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.'
'Trust with all your heart.' Not a percentage. All of it. That's the kind of trust that actually changes how you live.
'Do not lean on your own understanding.' This isn't a command to stop thinking. It's a command to stop building your life on your own analysis alone. You don't see the whole picture. He does.
'In all your ways acknowledge him.' Not just the big decisions. The small ones too. The conversations, the schedule, the money, the parenting. Bring him into all of it.
And the promise: he will make your paths straight. Not always clear in advance. But straight — in hindsight you'll see he was guiding the whole time. That's the deal.
