Sometimes, even when we don’t realize we are doing it, we think we are smarter than God and get upset when He doesn’t follow our plan, which we think is superior, instead of His. There are also many people in society today who think that God’s rules are not relevant and that proudly proclaim they are smarter than God and urge everyone to throw out his word and rules and follow the new societal norms.

Read MoreI am sure I am not alone in this, but sometimes I think because I have failed so many times in the past that God won’t give me any more chances and there is little reason to even ask for help. At a job you can only fail at so many projects before you have effectively killed your chances of ever getting that promotion, and likely even jeopardized your chances of retaining your current position.
