(Proverbs 3:5, NKJV) Have you ever faced a situation that seemed impossible? We all do at some point. Sometimes it just seems that a certain problem has no logical solution. It's in moments like these that we need to give up trying to figure it out. Sometimes it's best to remember that we have access to "the mind of Christ". I did not make that up, the Apostle Paul says so in the New Testament. So if we have access to "the mind of Christ", that means we have access to the vast storehouse of knowledge of God himself. And trust me, He knows the answer to your problem. How do we access this source of wisdom and power? We have to do the most counterintuitive thing: turn off the logic machine, stop researching our problem on Google, stop overanalyzing the problem, and stop looking for answers in the natural realm. It's time to tap into the supernatural. Stop leaning on our own understanding, and instead, choose to trust God.  None of the problems we face are a surprise to God, nor are they a challenge to Him. Your mind is a powerful thing. But sometimes, your mind will try to distract you, so you don't even notice that God is speaking to your heart all the time. Your mind, not your heart, is the source of fear, doubt, and terror. These emotions can block the signal God is broadcasting to your heart. That's why it says in the book of Proverbs we should trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. And if you can simply "let it go", stop thinking about the problem and the solutions so much, and just listen for what God has to say, you will find faith rising up. You'll start to feel hope, even in impossible situations. So today, no matter how dark things may look to you now, choose to lean on God. Trust that He has a good future in store for you. Trust that He has poured out grace and favor on your life. Trust Him, because in the final analysis, He's the only one you can totally trust, every time. Join me in a prayer like this: "Daddy, I'm making the choice to lean on you. Not on my own understanding. I know that you are working all things out for my good. So I won't put my confidence in the evidence that I see, but I will trust in your Word, and I will trust in You. I receive Your peace, in Jesus's name. Amen."
