Dependency
Are you dependent?
Take away everything we rely on or expect or predict and what are we left with? For some it's fear, others helplessness, others anger...Regardless, it's interesting how we are always driven at the point of having everything stripped away to depend on God. This is the point people cry out in prayer for help.
Everyone is thinking of money and resources right now, I'm sure, but imagine if the things you depended on etc. were things like your talents and abilities, your confidence and personality. Imagine if those things became tested and tried, and were found failing. For some, this is the time they cry out to God for help.
So you can still relate, but imagine if the thing you depended on was your pain and suffering, fear and stress or distress. What if those things were not around to cripple you. For some, this is the time they cry out to God for help because these were the things they depended.
Now imagine if you turned all of those things...personal assets, financial assets, hurts and pain
over to God, and just said, "I depend on You"...
