Proverbs 3:5 -- Trust versus our own understanding

What do we trust?  If we've had some bad experiences they can limit us from trusting again.  On the other hand if we have a hypothesis we may try it out; is this trust or just an experiment?  Trust in an individual can come over time; as we get to know them yet people let us down and this type of trust is based on our own understanding.  The question is, can we trust when we don't know the whole picture?  Are we really willing to put God in control; a God who has far more people to care about than we do; and a God who will let people disobey Him just because He doesn't want a bunch of robots serving Him; yet a God who knows each one of our hearts and all of our motives; and a God who cares for us just like we're the only person on the face of the earth.  

Lord, today is Your day.  Please help me to trust You above my own understanding.
