Scripture
Proverbs 3:5-8

Application
The word submit makes some people cringe. i have even heard people who refuse to put anything like it in their marriage vows. I don’t think they understand what it means. Submit does not mean I am going to give permission for someone to walk all over me, rule me, or enslave me. Submit means getting to know each other and forming a relationship based on respect. In Proverbs, God was asking us to get to know Him learn about him, so we can build our trust in Him. Building that trust is what our relationship with God is all about. Eventually you will trust Him enough to submit all your cares and troubles to Him and He will submit Love to us.. Isn’t that what we reallly want?
Prayer
Lord, today I want to submit my everything to you! ~ Amen
