Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)
     Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
Proverbs 3:5 (Message)
     Trust God from the bottom of your heart; 
         don't try to figure out everything on your own.
     Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; 
         he's the one who will keep you on track.
I love this verse - both versions!   But boy is it hard to do sometimes.  My brother is going through the ending of a BAD relationship.  It's hard not to interfere.  I see him hurting so much and being confused.  I just want to control and handle the siutation. 
I know that if I even try to talk to the other person - I will loose my cool (and temper).  I will be fully human and say very mean, hurtful things.  I know this is wrong and that regardless I am called to love this person.....but its hard!!
I ask you (my loving bloggy friends)to please keep him in your prayers. 
And bro....if your reading this....know that I love you with all my heart and that I am always here for you.  Also really read those verses above.  I know that you do not understand why this is happening - you may never know the why - but trust in the Lord and He will take care of you and show you the way.
