Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
--Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
It is hard to trust and rely on someone with whom you do not have a relationship or know well. We are encouraged throughout our lives to take time to get to know God through reading His Words in the Bible, meditating on His Word, and praying (communicating with Him). The time we spend with Him gives us a chance to get to
* know Him,
* understand Him and His ways better,
* build a loving relationship with Him,
* trust Him, and
* find comfort in knowing His ways are better than our ways
As we trust the Lord more, we find more comfort in knowing His ways are better than our ways. We want Him to direct our paths.
Taking time out of our schedules to spend with the Lord is essential in our ability to trust in Him. This book, along with the Bible readings, can help us set aside a little time daily to spend with the Lord. A scripture with prayer time a day may go a long way.
This book is a daily devotional consisting of scriptural readings and quick scriptural-based prayers that may be prayed daily for a quarter of the year (three months). If you want to spend more time in your devotion period, I encourage you to consider reading the complete corresponding chapter of Proverbs, in addition to the Scripture of the day.
Don't let the busyness of the day keep you from having a regular prayer life, and taking a little time each day to pray. Get this book. Read the Scriptures, pray the prayers, and experience the benefits of a little prayer going a long way. Increase your trust in the Lord, and let Him direct your paths.
"As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven He is a shield to all who trust in Him" (2 Samuel 22:31 NKJV).
