"My biggest struggle with faith is not a lack of belief, God has shown himself trustworthy time and time again. No, my bigeest struggle is that my prideful, arrogant heart tends to say "don't trust God with this because you can handle it." I need to daily be reminded of how sinful my heart is and how desperately I depend on God. Friends, have you placed your trust in God today, even with the little things that you mistakenly believe you can handle on your own?"
This was a friend of mine's facebook status today and boy, did I need to hear that. I can't tell you how many times I tell myself "Fix whatever problem you have so ou can go to God later and say 'Look! I did this by myself! Aren't you proud of me?'" The reality is though, we can't fix everything on our own. We NEED God to help us with everything we do. I think it makes God happier when we ask for His help. It means that we know that we are totally dependant on Him, not just kind of dependant on Him. This truly is one of the biggest things that I struggle with and one of the things I really hope to change!! :)
