Trust
in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek
His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
- Proverbs 3:5–6 (NLT)
Trust
doesn’t come easily, especially when life has taught us to brace for the
unexpected. After hard seasons, fresh starts, and big changes, surrender can
feel like the most difficult step of all. We like plans. We like control. We
like knowing how things will turn out.
But Proverbs gently reminds us that trust begins when we stop leaning on our own understanding. That’s not easy for people who like to be prepared, responsible, and strong. Surrender feels risky because it requires us to loosen our grip and admit we don’t have all the answers — and maybe never will.
What I’m learning is that surrender isn’t giving up; it’s giving over. It’s choosing to place the weight of our worries, our plans, and our “what ifs” into God’s hands, one decision at a time. Trust grows not when life makes sense, but when we decide to keep seeking Him anyway.
When we let go, God doesn’t leave us wandering. He promises to guide our steps. The path may not look like what we imagined, but it will always lead us closer to Him. We have to trust Him with our whole heart, even when we don't understand the path ahead. We need to let Him help us release control and surrender our plans to Him.
