Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

King James Version

World English Bible (WEB)

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

American Standard Version (ASV)

Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

What this verse means

Trust is a whole-heart decision, especially when your own understanding runs out.

Lord, I choose trust over my own limited understanding. Lead me with Your wisdom.

3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
