In this short devotional, Blake Robert Templeton addresses the feeling of chaos and lack of control in life. He cites Proverbs 3:5‑7 and outlines three specific actions believers should take: (1) trust the Lord with all your heart, (2) do not lean on your own understanding, and (3) acknowledge God in all your ways. Templeton emphasizes that these steps are difficult because the heart can be deceptive and personal understanding feels natural, but he assures listeners that if they follow these commands, God will take control and make their paths straight, fulfilling the desire for direction and peace that underlies the human experience of chaos.

Chapters

When your life feels chaotic, like everything's spinning, there's pressure, and you're not in control, God says if you do these 3 things, he will take control. Watch this. Proverbs 3:5-7, it says, trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight. The hardest part is those three things. All your heart, trust the Lord with all your heart. Remember, the heart can be deceptive, so give him everything. Trust the Lord with all your heart. Then lean not on your own understanding. I know that's hard because our own understanding is what we see, but trust him. So don't lean on your own understanding. And then in all your ways acknowledge him. If you do these three things, he says he will direct your paths. And that is all we wanted in the very beginning anyway.
