Trust in Me with all your heart and mind and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me and I will make your path straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Dear Jesus, Trusting You with all of our hearts has been our goal for years, but we seem to be making little progress. We suspect the culprit is our mind's ravenous appetite for understanding. Behind this impetus to understand, there lies a strong desire to feel in control of our lives. We want to trust You wholeheartedly, but we feel stuck.
YOUR DESIRE TO TRUST ME Wholeheartedly is a worthy goal and it is pleasing to Me. I am providing training through your life experiences. Allow Me to do this supernatural work in your heart. Recognize that many of the difficulties in your life are designed to help in this endeavor.
I want you to trust Me with all your heart and all your mind. The Holy Spirit will help you think trusting thoughts, but He requires your cooperation. Instead of relying on your own understanding to help you feel in control, ask My Spirit to control your mind. Then, wait confidently to see results. As you look to Me, trusting Me and talking with Me, I straighten out the path before you.
- Jesus
(Dear Jesus / Sarah Young)
