I was thinking about how we lean on the Lord only if we can't do something ourselves. Why do we not turn our difficulties over to the Lord to begin with rather than wrestling with it on our own?
I ran across this sometime ago and I think it illustrates how most of us try to do things so well.
"A little boy was trying to roll a rock as his father watched from a distance. The boy was heaving and sighing, but he couldn't turn the stone over.
His dad with a smile said, "Son, are you using all of your strength?" He said, "Yes, Daddy, I'm using all my strength." And the father said, "No, you're not, because you haven't asked me to help you. My strength is your strength."
Sometimes we wrestle with problems and say, "I don't know what to do." Our Father wants us to say, "I've run out of my strength," and run to His. He is there. "
"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Genesis 18:14
