Matthew Henry on Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."

"We must have a continual regard to God's providence, must depend upon it in all our affairs, both by faith and prayer. We must therefore trust in the Lord with all our hearts (v. 5); we must believe that he is able to do what he will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to his promise, to do what is best for us, if we love him, and serve him. By prayer (v. 6): In all thy ways acknowledge God. We must ask his leave, and not design anything but what we are sure is lawful. We must ask his advice and beg direction from him. We must ask success of him, as those who know the race is not to the swift. For our encouragement to do this, it is promised, "He shall direct thy paths", so that thy way shall be safe and good and the issue happy at last."
