Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
These two verses are so easy to understand, comforting, and straight forward. Trust God not your own understanding, acknowledge HIM always and He will show you the way. It seems so simple and easy to do yet why do I struggle with this? Every morning I get up, do my devotional, read scripture and recommit to this. Each day great things are happening and I feel amazingly powerful and jubilant. It is a fabulous state of being and then throughout the day I tend to let little doubts chip away at my trust in the LORD and remember old ways or baggage from my past and I start to lean on my own understanding instead of HIS. This is when other doubts, fears, anger, worry, etc. start to creep in to steal my joy. What I have started to do, that is really helping me, is to STOP as soon as I am aware of what I am doing and recite this verse back to myself and give my "issue" back to God and pray for Him to handle it. I will admit that there are days when this is much harder to do than others; especially depending on if the issue involves someone close to me like one of my children or grandchildren. I do know this: every time I allow God to handle the situation, trust in Him and get out of His way the outcome is great. It brings me a peace and comfort that I cannot express with words. My prayer today is for all of us to put our Trust in the Lord and when we feel the need to try and do it alone we will STOP, PRAY for God to handle it and then Trust Him to take care of it for us. Please let me know in the comments what happens when you apply this method or if you already have please offer encouragement to others by commenting today.
God Bless,

This originally started out as my journey to lose weight. After releasing 134 pounds and maintaining for over 2 years my passion is now helping others reach their goals. I have helped hundreds release weight, build lean muscle, increase energy and performance, look and feel better than they have ever felt as well as gain financial freedom! It is amazing how my life has changed and the best part is that I have been able to show others how to look, feel, and sleep better than ever before!
