Limiting God's Hand

Why is it we often think God cannot handle our little problems? We often don't think of taking our problems to God until we reach that certain point. We are are independent, problem-solving people. There are some who would argue that's why God gave us a brain. When a situation comes up our minds and energies immediately work toward a solution.

Only when we come to the end of ourselves and our resources do we then turn to God for help. Why isn't this the place where we start? God is almighty, all powerful! Doesn't the creation of His handiwork testify that He can do great and mighty things? In fact, wouldn't you agree God is quite extravagant in His creation?!?! He is extravagant in His love--His sacrifice was extravagant--He gave His only Son! God's promise to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think" is extravagant too.

Thinking upon these things, let me ask again, "Why is it we often think God cannot handle our little problems?".......Maybe you are saying I've never thought that. But that is what our actions show when we go about things without turning to God for His help. I am saying these things because I am one of those people. In doing so I limit God's hand of blessings on me.
