Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto their own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. Amen. You all may be seated. Let us bow. Eternal God, we come right now. We just want to say thank you, Father God. Father God, we come thanking you for this time. [00:01:49]

Trust God in the process. No matter what you've been through, no matter what you're going through, the AR is to trust God in the process. That means it's God's word, it's God's Will, and it's God's way. Hallelujah. But Proverbs 16:9 tells us that a man's heart plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps. [00:03:09]

The process is a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end. Here it is, the process. John 1:1 begins, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The process happened when the Word became flesh, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father. [00:05:12]

God's process does not always look good. God's process does not always feel good. But one thing about God's progress, God's progress always works out for the good. Can I get a witness? Paul said in Romans 8:28, "For we know that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord." [00:09:03]

Sometimes everybody with you, they're not with you. Sometimes everybody for you, they're not for you. But I stopped by to tell you, you ought to trust God and trust the process. Here on today, because God's process here, now hear God has called us according to His purpose. [00:10:00]

Solomon said that the length of the days and long life and peace shall be added unto us. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee. Can I get a witness on today? While we trusted the process, Solomon said, "Combine mercy and truth around our neck, for they shall be an ornament of grace." [00:10:23]

Our thoughts are not God's thoughts. Our ways are not His ways, said the Lord. But we got to trust God and trust the process. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Don't be wise in your own eyes. [00:11:22]

Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts and the plans that I have for you," says the Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end." I'm talking about a wise future. But so with us today, we're living in a "we" future, leaning to our own understanding. [00:12:23]

First Peter 5:7, "Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." Here we must trust God and trust the process. I stopped by to tell you, God knows all about your pains. God knows all about our anxiety today. God knows all about our worries today. [00:13:44]

The only way that we can get through this is we got to trust God. Sometimes we've been trusting ourselves, sometimes we've been trusting our spouse, but we got to trust God in the process. The song said sometimes you might have to go if you have to go by yourself. [00:14:29]

Submit your heart to God wholeheartedly. That's the first point. Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not to their own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all thy ways, and He shall direct your path." The first point is wholeheartedness. [00:15:09]

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his ways. I'm talking about the process. He said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." David said, "I will look up to the hills from whence cometh my help." [00:16:49]
