Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and [don't] lean on your own understanding, submit to Him in all your ways, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV Bible
I get caught up in figuring out in my own mind how I should do things. How I can remedy this issue or that. I develop elaborate plans in my mind, rehearsing them over and over again, so that I don't leave any glitches in my plan.
Whether it's fixing something that's broken, health issues, or mending relationships, I find myself contemplating what to do. Do I turn to the Lord first with these issues? If I'm being totally honest with you, I'd have to admit, I usually try to figure out these plans first, which usually aren't very productive in dealing with these issues.
It's only when I get near my wit's end, and ask the Lord God what to do about whatever issues is currently plaguing my brain, when He has everything fall into place. I always end up wondering why I didn't turn to the Lord first, before gallivanting around in my brain trying to find the right solution. Fortunately, the Lord God is patient with me, and shows me what I need to do, which sometimes is just to do nothing, and just wait it out. Which happens to be what the Lord often shows me is best when dealing with relationships.
