It is so exceedingly sweet to find ourselves wholly dependent upon One who finds infinite joy in blessing us.
Praying and planning will never do together. If I plan, I am leaning more or less on my plan, but when I pray, I should lean exclusively upon God. We often feel very well satisfied with ourselves when we add prayer to our arrangement, or when we have used all lawful means and called upon God to bless them. When this is the case, our prayers are worth about as much as our plans. We can never get to the end of our plans until we have been brought to the end of ourselves.
No matter what we may think of ourselves nor yet what man may think about us, the great question is, What does God think about us?
