Q3. Why do we seek to be independent of asking anyone for help? Why do we seek to be independent of God? Why should we ask God to "give" us daily bread so long as we can earn a living for ourselves? Apart from our pride which gets in the way, I believe our society teaches us that independence is what is required to be successful, especially for women. God never intended us to be independent. He created Adam and Eve to be TOGETHER, not separate. We seek to be independent of God because of our lack of trust and faith that He will do what is necessary to see us through whatever circumstances we are facing. By asking for our "daily bread" is more than asking for our daily provision of food. I believe it is more of us asking for our "daily dose of Jesus" to help us through the day with His wisdom, strength, and guidance. He is our Bread of LIfe. So whether we can supply the physical things that we need daily, it is the spiritual that we need to be reminded to ask Him for on a daily basis.
