You Can't Control What You Can't Control

“The word translated ‘trust’ in Proverbs 3:5 means ‘to lie helpless, facedown.’” Picture of surrender.

If trust in God is to be true, it must be complete. To put half our trust in God and half our trust in self or something else is really failure to trust the LORD at all.

Strong’s 8172: shaan (shaw-an'): to lean, support oneself

Trust – Acknowledge (letting God know you, being fully known) – verbs – conscious decisions
