Have you ever found yourself desperately wishing for a divine roadmap when life gets foggy? You're not alone. 

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the profound wisdom found in Proverbs 3:5-6 – a scripture that serves as an anchor when uncertainty threatens to overwhelm us. I open up about my personal struggle with wanting to control everything, knowing all the answers, and having a clear plan laid out. Sound familiar? This tension between our desire for certainty and God's invitation to trust creates a powerful space for spiritual growth.

We dive deep into what it really means to "trust in the Lord with all your heart" when life's path seems unclear. Rather than seeing God's step-by-step guidance as insufficient, we discover the beauty in receiving just enough light for the next move. There's profound freedom in releasing our grip on self-sufficiency and embracing divine wisdom that sees far beyond our limited perspective.

Whether you're standing at a crossroads, waiting for answers, or simply feeling anxious about what tomorrow holds, this episode offers both comfort and practical wisdom. Try this simple practice: when uncertainty creeps in, pause and pray, "Lord, I don't know what's next, but I trust that you do." Join our community as we learn together that God isn't silent in our waiting – He's working behind the scenes, orchestrating circumstances we can't yet see.

00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:06.253
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:21.763
And now.

00:00:21.763 --> 00:00:23.408
Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.589
Welcome to Day 82, trust the Process.

00:00:28.589 --> 00:00:33.531
We'll be in Proverbs, chapter 3, verses 5 and 6 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:33.531 --> 00:00:36.508
Hey, buddy, I'm so glad you're here today.

00:00:36.508 --> 00:00:42.692
Let's talk about something that's honestly been a bit of a struggle for me trusting God when life feels uncertain.

00:00:42.692 --> 00:00:46.369
I'm the kind of person who loves a good plan.

00:00:46.369 --> 00:00:51.531
I like knowing what's next, having a roadmap and feeling like I've got some kind of control.

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.725
But life, yeah, it doesn't always work that way.

00:00:54.725 --> 00:01:12.183
There are seasons where the future feels blurry, when we're waiting on answers, wondering what's next, or feeling like we're standing at a cross roads with no clear direction, and in those moments I found myself wrestling with God, asking why can't you just show me the plan?

00:01:12.183 --> 00:01:17.561
But then I come back to this verse that has been like an anchor for me Proverbs 3, verses 5 through 6.

00:01:17.561 --> 00:01:20.227
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

00:01:20.227 --> 00:01:22.331
Do not depend on your own understanding.

00:01:22.331 --> 00:01:26.022
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

00:01:26.022 --> 00:01:39.926
I love how simple yet challenging that is God's basically saying hey, I know you want all the answers, but what I'm asking for is your trust, and trust isn't always easy, especially when we can't see the whole picture.

00:01:39.926 --> 00:01:41.469
But here's the truth.

00:01:41.469 --> 00:01:43.561
God sees what we can't.

00:01:43.561 --> 00:01:50.588
He knows the beginning, the middle and the end of our stories, and his plans are so much bigger than what we could map out on our own.

00:01:50.588 --> 00:01:59.022
Sometimes he only gives us the next small step and, honestly, that's enough, because he promises that when we seek him he will guide us.

00:01:59.022 --> 00:02:03.322
We don't have to figure it all out, we just need to follow the one who already has.

00:02:03.322 --> 00:02:09.969
If you're in a season of waiting or facing the unknown, I want you to know this God's not silent.

00:02:09.969 --> 00:02:14.225
He's working behind the scenes, aligning things in ways you can't yet see.

00:02:14.225 --> 00:02:19.705
So, instead of stressing over what's next, what if we leaned into trusting him right where we are?

00:02:19.705 --> 00:02:26.090
Here's something simple to try Next time you feel the anxiety of the unknown creeping in, pause and pray.

00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:29.387
Lord, I don't know what's next, but I trust that you do.

00:02:29.387 --> 00:02:33.143
Let's pray together, lord.

00:02:33.143 --> 00:02:38.907
We admit that it's hard to trust when we can't see the whole picture, but today we're choosing to lean into you.

00:02:38.907 --> 00:02:44.127
Guide our steps, calm our anxious hearts and remind us that you're already in tomorrow.

00:02:44.127 --> 00:02:49.026
Help us to walk in faith, not fear, in Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:49.026 --> 00:02:52.555
That's all for now.
