Do You Trust Me?
Proverbs 3:5-6
Past pain, broken relationships, and the need for control have a way of clouding our faith. Proverbs 3:5-6 challenges us to surrender every part of our lives—not just the easy parts—to God’s wisdom, timing, and ways. This week, we will explore whether our daily choices reflect trust in God or in ourselves.
