I don't have to understand everything to trust God with it.

A Bible affirmation for overthinking, rooted in Proverbs 3:5-6.

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.

Proverbs 3:5-6 · BSB

Reflection

Leaning on your own understanding is like leaning on a cane that can't hold your weight. Lean on the Lord instead, Proverbs says, and He will make your paths straight. Even the ones you've overthought into knots.

A prayer

God, I've been leaning on my own understanding again. I'm leaning on You instead.
