When he Bible says "do not lean on your own understanding," the Bible is being serious. Your heart is deceitful, your emotions fluctuate, your understanding does not see the overall, big picture. God never lies, God never changes, God knows all. Trust Him.
Before you sleep ask God to give you the strength to wait on him. Whether you’re waiting for healing, a miracle, a job, a change or academics, God hears you, keep praying. Psalms 130:5 says, I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. May God help us
