Today’s Bible verse – Proverbs 3:5–6, NKJV
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
Devotional Thought For Today
You weren’t supposed to be here—not like this. Not still waiting. Not still hurting. Not still unsure.
You tried to map it all out. You made the plans, checked the boxes, said the prayers. And yet somehow, life zigzagged instead of unfolded. The doors you begged God to open stayed closed. The ones you never wanted to walk through swung wide.
And now, with everything inside you craving clarity, God gives you something else: an invitation to trust.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”
He doesn’t ask for partial trust—the kind that still keeps your backup plan. He asks for all of it. Even the shaky, bruised, skeptical parts. Especially those.
“…and lean not on your own understanding…”
Your understanding has limits. It’s shaped by what you see, feel, fear. But God’s view is eternal. He sees the whole road, not just the corner you’re stuck at.
“…in all your ways acknowledge Him…”
This isn’t just Sunday-morning faith. It’s Tuesday-night heartbreak faith. It’s I-don’t-know-what-to-do faith. It’s I choose to believe You’re still good even here faith.
“…and He shall direct your paths.”
This is His promise: He will lead you. Not always where you expected, but always where you were meant to go. His direction may come in whispers, not billboards. But it comes. In the quiet, in the waiting, in the surrender.
So today, stop trying to figure it all out. Release the pressure to have it all make sense. Let go of leaning on what you know.
And lean—fully, honestly, desperately—on the One who knows the end from the beginning. He hasn’t failed you yet. He won’t start now.
Prayer for May 30, 2025
Lord, I lay down my need to understand and pick up my call to trust. Help me lean into You, not my limited sight. Guide my steps even when the road feels uncertain. I trust You to lead me—not just to what’s safe, but to what’s best. In Jesus’ name, amen.
