"Call on God, but row away from the rocks." Indian Proverb
I was the kind of guy who sat in my room with the lights out and complained about how dark it was. All I had to do was get up and flick a switch. It reminds me of all the times I asked for help from a spiritual entity but did none of the work myself. God isn't a servant. God doesn't clean up for me. Establishing a relationship with my Higher Power doesn't mean I'm going to build a dependency outside of myself. This Power doesn't exist for me to make request after request for things I can do for myself. I can ask for safety and guidance in the midst of difficult situations but it's up to me to take the initiative for my own safety and well-being.
Whenever I need guidance, peace, and strength I can call on my Higher Power as long as I'm making sure I take responsibility when it's warranted. God works through me, not for me.
