Step by Step: Growing in Faith, One Step at a Time. Esimerkki

One word stands out in this verse: all. We are called to love God with all of our hearts. Of course, this may be easier said than done. When we struggle to trust God, when things don’t go the way we wanted, when we want to do what we want—that’s when we’re tempted to only give God part of our hearts. But as the writer of this Proverb points out, that isn’t going to get us far. Depending on our own understanding won’t get us where we want to go, but trusting in God with all of our hearts will help us keep going no matter what.

Talk with a parent, mentor, or other trusted adult about what you think it means for you to trust God with all of your heart.
