Proverbs 3:5
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;”
«Confie no Senhor de todo o coração e não se apoie no seu próprio entendimento» chama-nos a depender plenamente de Deus, e não do nosso juízo limitado, sobretudo quando não vemos o caminho à frente.

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.
