“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. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil” Proverbs 3:5-7, ESV.
Without God we can’t do anything, but with Him nothing’s impossible. Amen. Humility is living with an understanding of who God is and who we’re not. God wants to lead us and guide our decisions. Not because He has an issue with control. He wants to lead us to His perfect will for our lives. He wants us to experience His grace and His goodness.
Life has been hard for so many of us for a long time, and when we think about it, we have to examine if we’ve truly been seeking the Lord for His wisdom and waiting for an answer, or leaning to our own understanding and doing what seems right. If we’re honest, we will admit the truth. We have not been waiting on Him. We may pray and say, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” And when we get silence, we say, “Well! That’s my answer! Do what I want and go where I please.” God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s giving us permission.
Silence means to wait.
God wants to guide us, and direct our paths as He promised He would. Just because He shows us a glimpse of His plan for our lives, doesn’t mean He wants us to go now, act now, do it now. He guides us with His Word and with His Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of peace.
Don’t be lazy when it come to waiting on the Lord’s direction. Don’t think that you’re so wise that you can guide your own life. See your constant need for His leading. Get alone with the Lord and say, like Jacob, “I’m not letting you go Lord until you bless me with wisdom and direction. I’m not leaving until you show me exactly what you want me to do and when! Because I want to be in your perfect will, I’m waiting to hear from you my God!”
“The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. ” Lamentation 3:25, ESV.
(As you read this, don’t think this is for someone else. This is for you.)
Praise God. Please give me wisdom and understanding teach me to not to lean on my own understanding but to trust You with all my heart. I leave the situation with my son in Your precious hands. I love You Jesus.
Thank you..❤Daddy Jesus❤..
Wow, my name is Patricia also and I too am turning my son over to God too because it’s too much for me to bare. My heart breaks for my son, who’s 20, who keeps making wrong decisions and won’t accept my guidance. God I trust you with my son, please order not just his steps but mine as well, Amen!
Sisters I know your pain, we have to give them back to God, let’s continue to trust God at his word and promise.touch and agree in Jesus name
When my Son was 16, he had several friends. One of his friends had a demonic spirit and a hold on my son. I prayed that GOD would remove anyone who meant my son harm out of his life. 3 weeks later my son came home and said ….. Is no longer my friend. I also have my son to the LORD in that same prayer.
I’m in the same place with my 21 year-old son. If you have time maybe you can read a post I wrote about what the Holy Spirit is teaching me about “letting go”…

Father God when You are quiet it only means one thing, wait. Your word says those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they’ll fly like eagles, run and not get weary. So Father in every situation it means we are not to use our own wisdom ever, but to wait for Your plan to materialise. It meansYou are to stay in control. What a wonderful relief to know You are in control, Your plans are the best. Your plans are also to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future. We trust You and honour You. Blessed are those who fear You. Keep us in the palm of Your hands and guard us like the apple of Your eye for Your glory. Amen
AMEN …. THANK YOU JESUS 🙂

Bless my Pastors,please continue to speak through them,expand their territory, and bless us with our Own home Church building. I plead the blood of Jesus over us All inJesus name Amen
This is just what I needed. In the past, I had been hearing God say “wait”, but lately He has been silent. Now I realize, I have to continue to do the last thing He says until He tells me otherwise.
This is for me Gloria Nation lord teach me how to wait and no longer learn on my own understanding. I need you Lord in every area of my life.
I am so touched by this. Thank you Lord for being extremely perfect. I love you so much
Missed today’s devo. but thank you always for your continued encouragement. But reading again yesterday’s and waiting on Him is very hard sometimes especially in a trial of health issues. But it is so true because that is where his precious peace is..Lord your ways our beyond mine. I Love you Lord♡
I receive this in Jesus name! I’ve been praying and seeking Him for so many areas in my life. I’ve made so many bad decisions for me and my family when I wasn’t walking with the Lord. We’re experiencing so many consequences. God help me trust in you in my life and help me to follow you and be in your will for the rest of my life! Be with my kids, help me in my unbelief, I want to let go and trust you with their lives. You are a good God and a kind God and I know you have the best for them even when it’s hard for me to see, I have to know and believe in Your character.
AMEN !
Thank you Lord! I am trying to wait patiently on you and not to be distracted with the things that are going on all around me in My life. It’s kind of hard, but I am still trusting. I have faith the size of a mustard seed. That God you will make a way for me Financially, spiritually, mentally and physically. Thank you Lord in Advance. I try helping others and encouraging others, but soon as I get alone my mind brings me back to my own problems and insecurities. Keep me Lord.
I feel like I am suffocating
But, I am still trusting you. With tears in my eyes and a praise in my heart.
Amen!
This is a beautiful testament of what God wants for our lives. I trust you LORD with all that I am, that you will direct my path and ensure your will to be done in me. Thank you sisters for the word of God!
Lord, thank you for your word for me today. Help me to really learn to wait on you, because, you make all things beautiful in your time. In Jesus name….Amen.
Please pray for God to open door to a good promotion where I work, or a new job someplace else. I am applying for jobs locally, nationally and even overseas…like Belgium, Holland, Italy, England, France, Spain…pleaae,pray God open the right door. Thank u.
This devotional is right on time and just for me. I was just praying for patience and guidance on the way to work and Proverbs 3:5 was the first scripture to come to mind. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”. Sometimes I have to “check” myself because I find myself doing what I want to do or what I think is best and it’s never right. It may seem like the logical thing to do but it does not make it the right. It may work out in the long run but if I would of just wanted on the Lord it would of been a lot easier. I am going to make a practice today of waiting on the Lord to order and guide my steps. I hope everyone has a great blessed day.
