Trusting Without Understanding

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."
Proverbs 3:5

Reflection

Not everything will make sense, and that is alright. Trusting means accepting that God sees the whole map while we see only the corner.

Prayer

Father, I trust You even without understanding everything. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Does everything have to make sense for us to trust God?
  2. Who sees the whole map?
  3. What don't you understand right now?

5-minute activity

Show the child just one corner of a picture, covering the rest. Ask what they think it is, then reveal the whole thing. Talk about God seeing the whole map. Read Proverbs 3:5-6.
