Dependent

Heard this recently -
it certainly made me think differently about prayer.
Maybe it will you too. . .

"A thin prayer life speaks more of lack of dependency than lack of self discipline."

So what do you think...is that why need suffering in our life? To keep us totally dependent and on our knees. I would say it keeps us very humble.

I'm not sure I would think about it that way - it then sounds as though God sends us suffering to keep us humble.

Doesn't sound a bit like Him.

I saw it as: - we are like little kids who demand to drive Dad's car, totally convinced that they can.
And they might get a little way but they are going to get into trouble without Dad's strong hands on the wheel with theirs
