"Trust the Lord completely; don't ever trust yourself. In everything you do; put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success."'

~ Proverbs 3:5, 6 LAB

Bible Commentary: "When we have an important decision to make, we sometimes feel that we can't trust anyone---not even God. But God knows what is best for us. He is a better judge of what we want than even we are! We must trust Him completely in every choice we make. This does not mean we cannot study the options and make intelligent decisions, or that we should have no confidence in our ability. It means, however, that we must not be wise in our own eyes. We should always be willing to listen to and be connected by others. Bring your decision to God in prayer; use the Bible as your guide; and then do what is right."

DAY 19: Pray for God's People to be light:

"Heavenly Father,

I pray that Christians---myself included---will live out the principles of the Bible daily and be light in the darkness. Give me the courage and strength to stand up for Scriptural principles and morality. Allow opportunities for me and other believers to impact people in our community. I want to be Your representative. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
