Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trusting in the Lord with all you heart is definitely a large part of the “good work” God performs in us. (Philippians 1:6)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. God would not have put these words in His Word, the Bible, unless He knew that, with the help of His Holy Spirit, it could really be lived out and experienced on earth, in this life.
What’s in a heart? There can be happiness, joy, fun, and hope. There can also be fear, intimidation, insecurity, anger, care, worry, sadness, family, financial concerns, the past, the future, and so much more.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart – What part of my heart was I not prone to trust God with? My finances, retirement, job, pride, my marriage, my health issues, fear, worry, doubt, anger, unforgiveness, family, responsibilities, etc. These are all parts of my heart. If God tells me to trust in Him with all my heart, then He will give me the ability to trust Him with all these areas of my life. And, God rescued me just in time to tell me I needed to get to know Him in a much deeper way by diving into His Word. I needed to memorize pertinent passages so I could learn how to trust in Him with all my heart. One of the most important pieces of scripture He had me focus and meditate on was Romans 8:28. He knew that one verse would help me to learn to trust Him with my past and future.
What’s in your heart?
“Father, in the Almighty Name of Jesus, show me how to trust in You with all my heart so I can live in Your peace, rest and joy. Thank You, God. Amen.”
If you pray that prayer, according to the following verse, you can be confident that He’ll show you how to trust Him with everything that’s in your heart.
Being confident of this very thing, that he (God) which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
