Day 9: Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

 

📅 Date: Thursday, March 13, 2025

📖 Scripture Reading:

"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

Devotion:

Trusting God means surrendering control and believing that His ways are higher than ours. Often, we try to understand every detail of our lives, but faith calls us to trust even when the path ahead is unclear.

God reminds us in Isaiah:

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." – Isaiah 55:8-9

Faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing that God does. When we surrender our plans, anxieties, and uncertainties to Him, He leads us in the right direction.

Are there areas in your life where you are struggling to trust Him? What fears hold you back from fully relying on His wisdom? Today, choose to release control and rest in His promises.
