'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. But when I try to take control over any situation I am not letting God show me his perfect will for my life. I think I can get it done faster or I think my way is better than the Lord’s way. I say I trust Him but yet I try to come up with reasons and answers to my problems. Much too often, I give something to God, and then I try to take it back when I get stressed out about it. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.' Proverbs 3: 5-6 says, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want God to think that I don’t trust him! What I need to do is to cast my cares unto the Lord because he cares for me (1 Peter 5:7). That is hard for me to do since I am such an independent person.īut when I try to carry the burden myself I am telling God that I don’t trust him and that he is not capable of helping me.

And being humble means that I need to take my worries to God instead of me worrying about them. God has been teaching me to let go of things and to let him take control. If I can’t control it then I worry about it.

I have always been the type of person that needs to be in control of everything. Lewis explains it best this way, “True humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” A mindset that puts others first before yourself.Ĭ.S. To Christians being humble means to have an attitude of total dependence on the Lord and to recognize that you are his servant and he is your Lord. Being humble means that you are not boastful or arrogant and that you do not put yourself in a higher position than anyone else.
