About the book of Proverbs
Prov 3:5
"Trust in the Lord" is necessary for fulfilling any of the wise ways of life taught in Proverbs; trusting the Lord is closely connected to “fearing” him (cf. 1:7; 2:5; 9:10; 15:33; 19:23; etc.). "With all your heart" indicates that trust goes beyond intellectual assent to a deep reliance on the Lord, a settled confidence in his care and his faithfulness to his Word. "Do not lean on your own understanding" further explains trusting in the Lord. One’s “understanding” in Proverbs is his perception of the right course of action. The wise will govern themselves by what the Lord himself declares, and ***will not set their own finite and often-mistaken understanding against*** his.

They won't insist on following their own understanding of the situation rather than the way the Lord has declared - they won't try to insist that their own version is the right one.
