“Trust in God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6.) We are required to trust in God with our whole heart. God requires absolute obedience and surrender in every realm of our lives before he will direct our paths. Indeed, we best honor ourselves by first honoring God. To trust God is to acknowledge his wisdom and his goodness, to acknowledge that he knows what is best for us and that he will bring his purposes to pass in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will.
