Trick Verse?

The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? [Proverbs 20.24] 

This verse almost seems like a "trick verse" to anyone who is an over-thinker.

Ha.

No, really... Shouldn't I understand my steps if I am the one who will be taking them? And, there's the problem: "I."

I certainly don't want to be lazy, but Proverbs 20.24 indicates that I might not have to control everything.

Here is the full original copy of the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971):

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that You will make all things right, if I surrender to Your will, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

So be it!
