Proverbs 3:5-6 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.
Are you ever tempted to think 'God's not interested in that part of my life', or 'I wont bother God with this problem He's got far more important things and other people with more traumatic troubles to deal with', or 'I can handle this myself', or 'I don't want to take up His time'? If you have ever thought like that may I respectfully say that those thoughts don't come from God.
God loves each one of us so much He wants to be intimately involved in every area of our lives no matter how big or how small or how embarrassing or how personal. He's the God of the infinite but also the God of the infinitesimal so be encouraged today to talk to God about everything and ask Him what He wants you to do about every detail. He has time for you always.
I've heard people say 'Well God gave me a brain and common sense to deal with life' but our verse says not to depend on our own understanding! He also gave us His Holy Spirit to be our Helper, our Counsellor, our Advocate, our Standby, our Wisdom. Surely humility would be to say 'I need Your help Lord with all areas of my life'.
God never intended man to be independent of Him in any way, He intended us to be co-heirs, one spirit with Jesus, partners in life with Him deferring to Him in all things because we belong to Him.
So whatever is bothering us or whatever we have to do let's just stop and ask the Holy Spirit the best way to do it, when to do it and whether we need someone else to come along side to help us do it. He'll show us what to do and I'm so thankful for that. We don't have to do life on our own praise God.
