Trust in the Lord(A) with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths(B) straight.[a](C) Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Do you ever find yourself at crossroad of your emotions vs. fully trusting God? It's like a power struggle between what you feel in that moment and Gods truth. We often times become blinded by our on fleeting emotions and what we think we know because we value our own "truth" more than Gods truth.
What we must understand is that Gods truth is bullet proof and in this instance when we are relying on ourselves more than God we need to take a step back and realign ourselves with the him. No circumstance is too big for God and nothing takes Him by surprise in Proverbs 3:5-6 God says if we submit all of our ways to Him he will make our paths straight. This means that God takes all the guess work out and our responsibility is to take him at His word.
Ah, Sovereign Lord,(A) you have made the heavens and the earth(B) by your great power and outstretched arm.(C) Nothing is too hard(D) for you. Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV)
Learning not to lean on our own understanding begins with developing a better understanding of God and developing a better understanding of God comes through studying his word. That means we need to purposely set aside time to draw from the endless resources that God has given us.
Ask yourself this today Will I trust my ever changing emotions or our heavenly Father who never changes? He promises to never leave or forsake us and to make our paths straight that sounds like a win to me. What ever is holding you back ask God to remove it and increase your faith. We fall short when we try to figure out everything on our own so resolve to give all of your concerns over to God and stand in His truth.
Love,
