War Room: Trust and Pray Through Every Decision - Pentecostal (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Source: ChurchWiseAI84 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Miss Clara teaches Elizabeth to bring everything to God in prayer—every decision acknowledged before Him. Pentecostal spirituality sees "acknowledge him in all your ways" as constant communion: pray about everything, hear His voice, follow His leading. Trust isn't passive but active listening. The Spirit guides those who seek; God speaks to those who listen. When you trust with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding, the Spirit gives wisdom beyond human reasoning. Your path becomes straight because you're following divine GPS.
