1. OUR CIRCUMSTANCES TEACH US TO DEPEND ON GOD - the first temptation was to assert independence - as soon man fell pride kicked in - ie self-management came to the fore - we now think it below our dignity to ask for help, even from God! - God is really saying “trust me” – trust is at the heart of dependence.
2. WE EXPRESS OUR DEPENDENCE THROUGH PRAYER (a) the God we pray to – our view of God significantly affects prayer! - note v. 2 – a “big” situation! – but small when measured against God! (b) God’s promise of help – “I will answer and will tell you...known”! - God is really the only perfect listener in existence! - that we have God as such a listener should constrain us to pray! - “I will tell you...” – God did not say “I’ll set you free..”! - the grand view of eternal things which God shows is for our comfort now!
