Stop putting on God what you're responsible for In life

If you haven't accomplished the goals you've wanted to accomplish, reached the dreams you want to fulfill and aren't where you would like to be in life... Don't put on God what he has given you as free will to make your own choices. Our free will is a gift from God and I've met too many people that like to use God as an excuse for not being where they want to be in life. Putting the "blame" on him so to speak. It's time to take responsibility for our own choices. God is such a gracious God and gives us such an allowance for our faults and mistakes. Until society can start looking at themselves and doing their own soul searching with God as our guide (not our decision maker), we will continue on this hampster wheel. We have to make a choice to give God authority over us and must be honest with ourselves first about our own shortcomings, then be honest with God so he may lead us according to our humility and trust in him. 

 "God opposes the proud, but shows favor to the humble."  James 4:6 

"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as the wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do."  James 1:5-8
