It's hard to depend on someone other than yourself for things you are capable of taking care of. To depend on someone else means you owe that person and that's not a comfortable position to be in. This becomes the first stumbling block for most people to become Christian because it's so hard to admit that you are at some point incapable of providing something so simple as our daily bread. When you resist and are finally brought to the place where you must ask for your daily portion it is so sweet to receive it and understand there really is a God who hears and who will provide for your every need no matter how small. From this position God can make you anything he chooses because you are totally aware of his great goodness and kindness and might.
