“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 (NIV)

Trust begins where understanding ends. Proverbs 3 tells us not to lean on our own understanding. Why? Because our understanding is limited. God sees the whole picture—past, present, and future. We see only one frame of the movie. Trust Is an Act, not a Feeling. Trusting God doesn’t always feel easy. It’s a choice. It’s waking up in the dark and saying, “Lord, I still believe.” It’s taking the next step when the path is invisible. Consider Abraham. God told him to leave everything and go to a place he didn’t know. That’s not comfort—that’s courage fueled by trust.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8(NIV)

Faith is not the absence of fear; it is moving forward in spite of fear because we trust the One who leads us. Trust grows through testing. Every trial you face is an opportunity to trust God more deeply. When you lose the job… Trust is the only answer. When the healing doesn’t come… Trust is the only answer. When the door closes… Trust is the only answer. Psalm 56:3 says:” When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” Trust produces peace. When we truly trust God, peace follows—even if the circumstances don’t change.

 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. “Isaiah 26:3(NIV)

Peace isn’t the absence of problems; it’s the presence of trust in a God who is greater than our problems. When trust is all, you have, it’s all you need. There will be seasons in your life when nothing makes sense. No advice seems to help. No prayer feels answered. No breakthrough is visible. In those moments, trust is not the last resort—it is the only answer. And the beautiful truth? God is always worthy of that trust. Where in your life is God asking you to stop leaning on your own understanding? Where is He saying, “Just trust Me”? Maybe you don’t know the “how,” but you know the “Who. And when you know the One who holds your future, you don’t need to fear what tomorrow holds.

Prayer of the Day: Father in the name of Jesus, I give you back the control, and I trust you—not because I understand everything, but because You do. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight. Remind me that You are always faithful. Amen.”
