Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.—Prov. 3:5.

 

Husbands, you are responsible for the welfare of your family, so you work hard to protect and support your family. When you face challenges, you may feel that you have the resources to handle the problem on your own. However, resist the inclination to rely on your own strength. Instead, pray privately for Jehovah’s help. In addition, pray fervently with your wife. Seek direction from Jehovah by studying the Bible and publications provided by God’s organization, and apply the counsel you find. Others might not agree with the Bible-based decisions you make. They might say that money and the things it can buy will provide the best protection for your family. But remember the example of King Jehoshaphat. (2 Chron. 20:1-30) He trusted in Jehovah and proved it by his actions. Jehovah did not abandon that loyal man, and he will not abandon you.—Ps. 37:28; Heb. 13:5. w21.11 15 ¶6; 16 ¶8

We've learned to put implicit trust and confidence in Jehovah, not leaning upon our own understanding, but in all our ways taking notice of him. (Psalm 43:5; Proverbs 3:5, 6)
