As a child it was a statement of independence and accomplishment. We were proud of the fact we could tie our shoes or hammer a nail, and our parents were glad they didn't have to keep doing it for us! That may work in childrearing but no so much in relationships.
Hannah prayed: He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails; (1 Samuel 2:9 NIV84)
It wasn't her strength or methods that allowed Samuel to be born. It was the hand of the Lord. She couldn't do it herself...she needed help from her eternal parent.
God enables us to do the things He wants done and helps us in accomplishing them. Don't assume the power or the credit, and have faith in His ability to do what we cannot do. Ask him for the help u need to accomplish what He wants done.
