You can’t understand what you're missing in life until you’ve met the son of God. He is your everything if you allow him to be. He picks up the weak, for their eyes are looking for someone to help their shattered bodies, and broken hearts. The strong are filled with pride. They feel they are self sufficient and take great pleasure in their own abilities. These people the Lord can not work with, for these will never call on him, will never ask for his help, for fear they might expose some weakness and destroy the only trust they have, that in themselves. Look up unto him, for all are truly weak, the strong are not really strong, but they are deceived. They are the blind and ignorant. Do not worry, for all need help, even you who feel you can do it all. For this reason the Lord can also work in all, but only those who learn to recognize that they are truly but children, needing help with all, needing guidance with all things. Only these will mount up on the strength of the Lord, and only these will be able to know and understand the will of God for their life. These will be the blessed ones.

        Pride destroys relationships, pride gives you a false sense of security, for when you fall short of your own expectations you are wounded through the presence of pride acting in your life. How can you serve the Lord, how can you be humble unto him and others, how can you serve in love when you are filled with pride. If you take security in your own abilities, what good is the power of God to you, for you can take care of all things by yourself, for in yourself is where your trust lies. Do not ask something of God and then go try and fix it on your own. The number one reason people don’t receive things form the Lord is that they ask in faith, but then try and solve it on their own. When you ask a friend to help you with homework, when they come over to your house, do you immediately ignore that they are there and try to figure it out on your own? Then when a few hours go by and you can’t figure it out, do you go to them and say, "Why didn’t you help me?" So many people treat God in this very same way. If we have faith that he is going to do something, are actions must exemplify this. If we ask for help in a situation by faith, then we must leave it in God’s hands. If we put God as the back up plan not only do we deny that he is able to do the work but also that we can handle it better than he can. You must stop asking for things in disbelief.

        Faith is placing your trust in God, but this trust can not be blind trust or blind faith. You must first know God’s love, his person, and then let him, through experience, build your faith in him. So many try to believe for huge moves of God in their lives, when truth is they don’t even have enough faith to believe that he could knock over a glass of water, sitting on a table. You can’t believe for mountains until you’ve believed for hills, and you can’t believe for hills until you’ve believed for a pile of dirt. Building faith or trust is a process, but it starts first with admitting you can’t trust in yourself truly for anything. You are not perfect and are always capable of mistakes, you can never trust in yourself with complete assurance for even the simplest things. With God though, you can trust him for all things, for he is perfection, he is all knowing and all powerful, he created all things, I’m sure he can fix them. My prayer to you is that you learn to lean on him, for the more you do, the more he can move and work in your life, and the more he works in your life the stronger you become. With God taking care of you all the time, you are stronger than any other person here. Humble yourself, admit your flaws and even the things which you are good at, know that you are still not as good at it as God is. Let him help you, for that is what a Father is for, to constantly guide and instruct us. Take care that you never let yourself become your security, and in the process develop pride and destroy your relationship with your Father, and your Savior the Lord Jesus.
