V (Verse) - Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"

O (Own Words/Interpretation) - We all have to trust what God says in scripture. It is so hard and there is so much pressure when we have to try to understand everything on our own. I mean God is the creator of the world and is giving us a free list of how to make our life better. How awesome is that? It is like the teacher is putting the answers to the test directly into our brain... that's pretty cool. All we have to do is acknowledge him, read his word, do what he says and he will guide us through our life with promises of joy and happiness!!

L (Live It) - There are many times when I get impatient and try to make decisions and accomplish things without talking with God first. I think I can do it on my own. I will get frustrated and confused. Next time, I will pray to God first and wait and listen. It always seems to go so much more smooth when I do that. Then I ask myself, "Why don't I just listen to God EVERYTIME? He always has the right answers."

T (Talk to God) - Dear God, please give me the courage and strength to lean on you for understanding and quit trying to figure everything out on my own. Your my best friend and I want to talk with you about EVERYTHING. I am so lucky to be best friends with my God that has ALL the answers. Please help me to always remember that You are always there for me.
