College can feel exciting and terrifying in the same week. These verses are for the disorienting in-between.
// the word for this moment
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Psalm 119:105 (KJV)“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)Proverbs 3:5-6 is often quoted as a success formula, but it's really a posture for uncertainty — acknowledging God in all your ways, including the ones where you don't know what you're doing yet. College is one of the first seasons where no one hands you a script, and the path ahead isn't obvious. That's exactly the kind of territory this verse was written for.
