11/14 – GOD’S GUIDANCE

11/14 – God’s Guidance – Proverbs 3:5–6 (NASB) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”

Gratitude grows when we release control. God’s guidance is not occasional advice but daily direction. The straight path belongs to those who trust His wisdom above their own.

  1. Gratitude lets go of self-reliance and embraces surrender.
  2. Trust clears the fog that our understanding creates.
  3. Acknowledging Him daily keeps our path steady.

 “The Straight Path”
I do not walk by sight alone,
My wisdom cannot guide me,
But the Lord makes my path clear,
He directs my every step,
He holds the way ahead.

The heart leans on His counsel,
The mind rests in His truth,
The will bends to His wisdom,
The soul trusts in His plan,
The journey follows His lead.

Gratitude steadies my steps,
Confidence grows in His care,
Hope shines in His promise,
Peace flows in His way,
The path is made straight.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your guidance that leads me when I cannot see. Thank You that I can trust Your wisdom over my own.
Teach me to acknowledge You in all my ways. May gratitude lead me to surrender and joyfully follow the path You set before me.
