When we grasp just how needy we really are, and trust God’s all-sufficiency to meet our needs, then the Lord will work to direct and guide us in life. Proverbs 3:5-6 give us a marvelous promise: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” In His wisdom, God has determined to bestow His choicest blessings in answer to prayer. Prayer comes between our desires and God’s benefits. We too often grow discouraged in the midst of life’s hardships, because we look no further than ourselves. We have no conception of what blessings might be ours for the asking! God ordains many difficulties, that His children will seek help from Him in prayer. What is impossible to human nature is no difficulty to God. He requires obedience that is beyond our natural abilities, but not beyond the power of His grace. We can never ponder these things too often. The Christian life is a continual, daily battle to live by humble trust in a faithful God.
