Today we look at Proverbs 3, a passage written by King Solomon — one of the youngest and most pressured kings in history.
He knew anxiety. He lived with massive responsibility, enormous expectations, and heavy decisions.

And under that pressure, God gave him wisdom that still speaks life to us today.

🌿 TODAY’S LESSON SUMMARY

Anxiety is one of life’s greatest speed bumps.
It interrupts your peace…
your clarity…
your confidence…
and even your spiritual focus.

But Proverbs 3 gives us a roadmap:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”

God invites you to trust Him even when you don’t understand what’s happening.

“…don’t lean on your own understanding…”

Anxiety shrinks your vision.
God widens it.

“…acknowledge Him in all your ways…”

This means inviting Him into the exact places where you feel overwhelmed.

“…and He will make your paths straight.”

Not perfect.
Not painless.
But straight — steady, guided, and secure.

This is God’s promise for you today.

✨ Reflection for Today

Take a moment and ask yourself:

What situation in my life feels the most uncertain right now?

What would it look like to acknowledge God in that exact place?

How might I be leaning on my own understanding rather than His wisdom?

🙏 Closing Prayer

Lord, thank You for meeting me in my anxiety with compassion and strength.
Help me trust You with all my heart today.
Teach me to release the need to understand everything,
and instead rest in Your presence and Your direction.
Make my path straight as I walk with You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

But for now — I’m proud of you for taking this step toward peace.

See you tomorrow for Day 2.

In Christ,
