Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
That’s been a life go to for me. All the bad things that we go through make us not want to trust God. Those things are either meant to grow us through adversity or were bad choices by people, which can still be used for our good. God has a plan and we can trust Him. My understanding always fights against the good I know I should do. My understanding is fearful or prideful, full of vanity. If I put God first (acknowledge Him), He will tell me what to do and He will give me enough for today. And He will handle the long run. I use that to trust Him today and I’m grateful looking back when I have acknowledged Him and regret the times when I haven’t. It starts with fighting the attacks on Gods character and goodness and trusting Him.
