Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.Today is my mom’s 75th birthday. She is a saint and truly the most amazing human I know. I can’t imagine a better childhood than the one she gave me, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without her constant prayers, unconditional love, and steady presence.
But today is bittersweet. She’s in the early stages of dementia, and deep down, I know the direction we’re heading. It’s heartbreaking to watch, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I don’t understand why she had to be the one to receive this diagnosis—and honestly, I wish I could change it all. But in the midst of this pain, these verses from Proverbs have been keeping me grounded.
I may not have all the answers, but I know I can trust God with what’s to come. Our job is to trust Him—His job is everything else. And in that truth, I find peace.
PrayerWe all have something in life we can't control, and God is reminding us to lay at His feet and trust Him with it. What is it for you? I pray today would be the day you completely turn it over to Him with all your heart, acknowledge His sovereignty, and let Him be God.
