Old Jerry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 We think that it a weakness if we can’t be independent and have to ask somebody else for help. We seek to be independent of God because of our arrogance. We don’t want to ask anybody for anything. We should always be asking God for our daily bread so that we will be able to earn a living for ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Pride, that we don't show our weakness. Seem to think that we can do everything ourselves and don't need anyone. God provides everything,(job) our needs are met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Why do we seek to be independent of asking anyone for help? We like to be comfortably well off and just know that we have everything (enough) for our needs and can do it all ourselves without relying on anyone. Why do we seek to be independent of God? I guess if that wld be the case it wld be because we can do everything our way and don't need to rely on Him. Why should we ask God to "give" us daily bread so long as we can earn a living for ourselves? It is so that we recognize God as our Provider and that we rely on Him for our provisions (our everything). It is the Lord Who gives us the strength and ability to work and be able to have the wherewithal to buy food etc to provide for ourselves ... so ultimately it is actually He Who provides.
