Learning to depend on the Lord is a tough battle for the flesh.
Yesterday I actually heard a preacher say that one should not have to trust God for something that he needs right now. He should pray in enough provision in advance so that he never needs anything.
I don't find that anywhere in the Bible. In fact, the whole Word of God teaches that the child of God must learn to depend on Him, and must unlearn independence.
We are to follow Him and to be changed into His likeness. We are to be in payer about all things because we were not created to do anything without Him.
Soldier of the Cross, we must admit our need for Him. Our need for each other. Our need for trials. Our need for His Word and our need to recognize that all things come from His hand and not ours.
Without Him, we have a tiny little worm's-eye view, and He alone sees all. We must be led and we must understand that no area of life is exempt. This is a particular problem for Christians who seem to think everything else can involve faith, but finances must be an exception.
The days. The hours. The minutes.
We need Him so.
