Proverbs 3:5
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;”
«Confida nel Signore con tutto il cuore e non ti appoggiare sul tuo discernimento» ci chiama a dipendere pienamente da Dio e non dal nostro giudizio limitato, soprattutto quando non vediamo la via davanti a noi.

The verse does not forbid thinking; it warns against leaning our whole weight on our own understanding as if it were enough. Our view is partial; God’s is complete.
“With all your heart” makes the trust total, not occasional. The next verse adds the promise: “in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” — trust expressed in real decisions, met by God’s guidance.
Does this verse mean I shouldn’t use my own judgment?
It means don’t rely on your understanding alone as the final authority. Wisdom still thinks carefully, but it submits its conclusions to God rather than trusting them absolutely.
