One Bible passage worth praying and meditating on even daily is Proverbs 3:5-8:  “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body” (NRSV).

Not only are we to love the Lord our God with all our hearts. We are also to trust God with all our hearts, even if that includes trusting God in the face of inscrutable misfortune and suffering. Much of our daily lives may be shrouded in the mystery of “why.” But this much is certain: you must trust and love God with everything you have and are. And God will either protect you from, or perfect you through whatever you have to undergo.
