Rely on Him

Sometimes it is hard not to get impatient. As a mom and a homeschool teacher at that I struggle sometimes to be patient with my kids. I find myself struggling and asking God's help when I feel like I can no longer handle it on my own. Isn't that what we are supposed to do though? Turn to God when we can't do it by ourselves anymore? I would argue that is not the way it is to be done. We are supposed to be turning to God in all things. We are supposed to be relying on him to get us through all the time, even when we feel like we can do it without Him. Who are we to think we can do things alone? The God of the universe is our greatest ally and I find myself crying out to him with the little things. 'Lord, teach me to cry out to you all the time! How much easier it would be if we allowed you to guide and direct every day.'
