  PROVERBS 3:5
          Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

This is a verse that I find very hard to do!  I struggle with this, always try to figure it out like I am some kind of genius and what I should do is TRUST GOD! I find it hard because I was raised that it was my job to do it on my own and not supposed to ask for help, my dad always told me where there is a will there is a way and cant never could. Then JESUS found me and I learned that my will was the problem and that if I would surrender to HIM that HE could help me and do HIS will not my will.  I look back and see that all I was doing was the same thing our first parents did I was trying to be my own god. So when problems come I try to fix them and the HOLY SPIRIT reminds me of:

          EPH 1:12-13 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

If anyone else struggles with this just pray for GOD to fill you with HIS SPIRIT and to strengthen your inner man! That is what helps me not to lean on my own understanding and to trust the LORD!!!
