Key Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Grief often leaves us feeling lost and uncertain. The questions that arise in our hearts—Why did this happen? How will I move forward?—can make it hard to see any clear path ahead. But in Proverbs 3:5-6, we are called to trust God completely, even when we don’t understand the circumstances.

This kind of trust is challenging, especially in the midst of sorrow. We naturally want answers and clarity, but God asks us to trust Him with our hearts, even when the way forward seems unclear. When we surrender our pain and confusion to Him, He promises to direct our paths

.In moments of grief, trusting God means believing that He sees the bigger picture, even when we cannot. He knows our hurt and is not indifferent to our pain. As we lean on Him and submit our broken hearts to His care, He begins to guide us through the darkness.

God doesn’t always reveal His full plan right away, but He faithfully leads us step by step. When we choose to trust Him, even without all the answers, we allow His peace to take root in our hearts. And as we walk in faith, He brings clarity and healing in ways that surpass our understanding.

Ending Prayer: Heavenly Father, I don’t always understand the reasons for my pain, but I choose to trust You with my whole heart. Help me not to rely on my own understanding but to submit my grief and confusion to You. I trust that You are guiding my steps, even when the path is unclear. Thank You for being a loving God who walks with me through every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
