[prismaticbleed]

No matter what doubts you have about life, the trust you place in the Lord will never lead you astray. Even if your path feels crooked, God is overseeing every step.
What or who do you usually trust? ...Explain some steps you will take to begin to trust God more.

To FULLY trust God, I CANNOT still cling to my own "understanding" of a situation-- my deductions, analyses, predictions, assumptions, OR convictions. No matter HOW legit my thoughts OR emotions seem, they are INHERENTLY FALLIBLE & UNDERINFORMED. I CANNOT have "all the facts"-- ONLY GOD can see the whole picture, for HE is painting it! The smartest, wisest thing I can ever do is to LET GO of my instincts to understand & control, & LET GOD REIGN. He alone is eternally, unfailingly true, reliable, right, & Good! Trust Him!
