Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

very familiar verse.the ever present comfort and reminder to trust in God when things dont seem right.how do you not lean on your own understanding?

yet in the troubles there's another promise that i intend to claim.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12


not only does God offer comfort,He promises a reward as well.

i yearn so much to just be able to surrender everything,give all that i dont understand to God and walk by faith alone.
but circumstances can make that seem so impossible.

i keep praying.
