Trust in God
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me. Psalm 31:1-2 (KJV)
The Lord tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust him with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, but in all our ways to acknowledge him and he will make our paths straight. When we start trusting in ourselves and leaning on our own understanding, we begin to stray from the straight path.
We become self-centered and not Christ-centered. Our Heavenly Father wants us to focus on him by fully serving and trusting him. Only he can deliver us from the times where we miss the mark, stumble and fall into trouble. He will keep us on the path of righteousness that leads to life.

Prayer: Father, help me to trust you with all of my heart and lean not on my own understanding. Help me to stand for truth, honor, and integrity. Do not let me be put to shame for standing up for the truth. Keep me in your righteousness, that I may walk holy and blameless before you and men. Be quick to deliver me when I stray from the path of righteousness. Jesus, you are the rock of my foundation, my refuge in time of trouble, and the lover of my soul. For the sake of your name lead and guide me through today and the days to come. Amen.
