Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight."
We only come to know God's vision for us when we come to Him with the attitude, "I'm committed to doing what you want me to do even before I know what it is." This faith is pleasing to Him because we know He is a good God and that He desires only our best. When we seek His direction it causes us to be dependent on Him and in the process we get what we really need...Him. Not the "felt" need of an answered prayer or even knowing the next step we should take.
This proverb teaches that God will reveal the next step only after we've agreed to submit to it before we know what it is. The phrase "He will make your paths straight" could also have been written, "He will make your paths obvious and clear." In short, Decide you're going to trust God in the dark because that's when His vision will become obvious.
