God Wants You to Depend on Him

What Is Dependency?

From conception to death, God created us to be dependent, not on another person or thing but on Him alone.

• Dependency is a reliance on something or someone else for support or existence.
• Dependency can be either negative or positive, such as being dependent on cocaine versus being dependent on Christ.
• Dependency can be an addiction to any object, behavior, or person that represents an underlying attempt to get emotional needs met.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.”   (Proverbs 14:12)

God Wants You to Depend on Him

• To totally rely on Him, not on people or things or self-effort. (Psalm 73:26)
• To believe that He will meet all of your needs. You can safely reveal your hurts, your fears, and your needs to God.  (Isaiah 58:11)
• To trust in Him to take care of your loved ones. (Psalm 62:8)
• To rely on Christ, whose life in you will enable you to overcome any destructive dependency. (1 John 4:4)
