>> “Anytime you depend on anything outside yourself it weakens your very nature.”

Personally, I’d make a BIG exception for Almighty God in that sentiment... but otherwise, it’s pretty good.

It is not the fact God is outside ourselves that is important, but that we carry our faith in God inside ourselves. Moreover, one can depend upon God for only that which was promised (and eternal salvation should be enough to satisfy anyone) - those who depend upon God for material advantage will be disappointed.

Dialing for dollars, is trying to find me
I wait for delivery
each day until 3
So Lord, won't you buy me, a color TV.”
