Proverbs / Question
Proverbs 3:5-6 calls God's people to trust the LORD with the whole heart, refuse self-reliant wisdom, acknowledge him in every path, and receive his guidance.
The saying belongs to wisdom instruction from a father to a son. It is not a promise that life will be effortless; it is an invitation to order the whole way of life under the LORD's wisdom rather than private calculation.
This verse is often used for decision-making. Its wider context shows that trust is a whole-life posture, not only a technique for getting quick answers.
5Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And don’t lean on your own understanding.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will direct your paths.
