Devotion:
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we gather in Your presence today, we are reminded of the profound wisdom found in Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Lord, guide our hearts as we seek Your wisdom for the decisions that lay before us.
In a world that often emphasizes self-reliance, help us to surrender our hearts to You completely. Teach us to trust in Your unfailing love and to acknowledge that Your ways are higher than our ways. As we face the choices and challenges of this day, may we rely not on our own understanding but lean wholeheartedly on You.
Father, we submit every aspect of our lives to Your sovereign care. In the decisions we make, both big and small, may Your will be our guide. Grant us the discernment to recognize Your voice amid the noise of the world and the courage to follow where You lead.
Lord, we acknowledge our limitations and recognize Your boundless wisdom. Align our desires with Your purposes, and may our decisions be a reflection of Your glory. As we yield to Your guidance, we trust that You will make our paths straight, leading us into the abundance of Your grace and peace.
In moments of uncertainty, remind us of Your faithfulness. Help us to walk confidently in the assurance that You are with us every step of the way. We place our trust in You, knowing that Your plans for us are filled with hope and a future.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
