We don’t want to depend completely on God because we fear that He won’t come through. We really don’t believe He is in control. We really don’t believe He knows what is best for us. So we decide what is best for us and we try to control our life with whatever resources we think we have.
How do you depend on God?
What is the most common command given to us in the NT? To pray. Prayer shows dependence on God. Prayer is the communication that builds a relationship with God.
This is true, and it’s a good reminder of where I should be. It’s hard to do, hard to be consistent. Self-discipline is hard.
