Trust in the Lord

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.


I feel lead today to dovetail off of what Alice wrote the other day.  She talked about God closing doors, sometimes very literally.  I personally can relate to this very well.  You see, I am a planner.  I often try to map out where my life is going.  What new opportunities I have and to feel in control of my life. 

God however often has different plans for me.  Plans I may not understand at a given time.  That door shutting on you when you really want something, really hurts in the moment.  This however is a time when we need to trust in the Lord with ALL of our hearts and trust that he is making our path straight. 


I know that I for one am living this right now.  I pray that in your life, you can also feel the challenge to trust in the Lord to lead you.  We might feel like we know what is best for ourselves, however the Lord truly does.
