Think about what consumed you last week: what did you talk most about, obsess about getting (physical or emotional), spend time worrying over?

Might that reveal what you’re actually trusting in?

It’s one thing to say we trust in the Lord.
It’s another thing to do it.

One way to grow more trust is to acknowledge Him more often. Remember: He’s the one in ultimate control of your daily situations, your next breath, your very life.

And His being in control is a good thing.

This week we’re memorizing Proverbs 3:5-6:

  • to put more confidence in the Lord
  • to rely less on our own abilities
  • to recognize He is the one who clears a path for us.

Won’t you join us? It’s our next to last week of memorizing classics!

What do you worry most about?
What does that say about where you place your hope?
What is one way you can more consciously depend on the Lord this week?

Please tell us what you think.

    Proverbs 3:5-6
    5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
    6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.

    What do you worry most about?
    What does that say about where you place your hope?
    What is one way you can more consciously depend on The Lord this week?

    All praise be to the Most High!! Through the Holy Spirit I am worrying less. When I find my flesh trying to creep back to its old ways I remember all The Lord has done for us & all I’ve learned from The word & Tracie Miles Stressed Lessed Living book

    I once was such a worry wart I was paralyzed. I worried most about the safety & future of my children. Decisions I had to make on a daily basis as well as struggled with confidence just to name a few.

    The worry showed I placed my attention/trust/hope in the world & my self. I no longer give it to the world or myself. I take it to The Father & I know the foundation is solid firmly placed on the rock.

    One way I can consciously depend on The Lord this week & all the days to come is the continue to hide the word in my heart to meditate & act on.

    Thank you Lisa this has been a great summer memorizing classics & sharing with you.
    May The Lord continue to bless all you do!

      I relate to what you’re sharing, Novella, because I have worried too much about my children as well. I have put too much misplaced confidence in my own control of circumstances, even though I know how irrational that is.

      But also like you, praise God, I worry less than I used to. I thank Him for any victories I have over worry.

      Besides meditating on His truths found in these scriptures this week, I’m also seeking to be more aware of His presence all the time. Remembering that He is with me makes a difference.

      I appreciate how encouraging you have been this summer to all who stop and read here. Thanks for blessing us with your honesty and your faith. Our God is good!
