Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. (Prov. 3:5, The Message)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Prov. 3:5, KJV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence. (Prov. 3:5 Common English Bible)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. (Prov. 3:5, Revised Standard Version)
Cling steadfastly to God and His idea, if the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you. Let nothing but His likeness abide in you. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of Being—as it eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Being is not.(Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy’s 1894 copyrighted Edition)
When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious—as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not. (Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy’s 1908 copyrighted Edition)
When the curse of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and Spirit’s idea. Allow nothing but Soul’s likeness to prevail in your thought. Do not let fear or doubt eclipse your clear sense and calm trust in Truth. (21st Century Science and Health, copyrighted 2006)
