Independence is a value that we strove for while we were growing up. We wanted to do everything on our own, proving that we have the capacity and the ability. And even as we aged, we still hold on to our independence -- "I can do it!" we sometimes say impatiently when someone younger wants to help us. But as a child of God we must accede that independence from God does not work, no matter what season of life we are in. We need God, and we cry out, "Lord, I cannot do this without you."
Lord, I need you; in all things, through all situations, I need you. Let me always say, "I lift up my eyes to the hills -- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."
