I think I am coming to the end of myself. I am grateful for what God has done in my life, but I’m stuck. A strength taken to an extreme is a weakness. God has shown me that I need to stop thinking I can think my way out of any and all problems. I have to give up relying on me. And trust Him. I think this is going to be scary.
He wants you to lean on him. If we could do life on our own there would be no reason for a savior.

I agree with you 100%. I have no idea why I can go from relying on myself, being in crisis, being helpless, trusting Him, he rescues me, I develop confidence in Him, then I go back to relying on myself again.

It’s always scary to think of surrendering all to God, but when we do—He wows us with things we never imagined possible.

I’m not sure how we would discuss this. There are some aspects of what you said that are simply part of the human condition but then you go on to talk about some things that may be impossible to avoid or achieve.
I think that I simply find your perspective to be interesting. We will need to wait and see what happens next.
