“Depending On God for Everything”
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.

Basically, these verses (Proverbs 3:5-6) are telling me that I need to lean on Him and stop depending on self to do what is necessary in life. If I lean on Him, He will provide everything that I need and want.
I have nothing to fear if I lean on Him, because He will take care of it.

Dear Loren G. :
I reverberate your unwavering faith.
Whenever I feel downtrodden despite my every effort to be His humble servant, and my efforts go to naught, I pray and “trust in the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever.”
My positive energy is recharged. I see my own fault and folly, and become a brighter light to shine before family, friends and even ‘foes’ not of my choosing.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you, and
GODSPEED,
Mary Sun.

Loren, thanks for sharing!
I find it very difficult to depend on God. It’s so hard for me to “let go.” Ugh. Ahhh. AND, I’m finding, that “letting go” is one of the deepest, most profound, most transformational spiritual practices (for me).
Whenever I’m able to let go (especially of something that’s really hard to let go), I can almost “feel” the transformation happening internally … the deepening of love, of trust … and the expansion of my heart and soul.
Anyway, thanks again, Loren!
