idols

I can't control anything that I want to happen in my life...even if I try to put myself in the "right place at the right time." That usually never turns out.

But still, how can I juggle the concepts that 1) I cannot put something in my own hands or on the other hand, 2) if I want something I just gotta put myself out there?

How much do they conflict? and how much do they intersect?

I think prayer is necessary. Ask God. After that, follows the action. God wants us to ask and he wants us to take risks. But taking a risk without prayer is just foolishness.

Risks without prayer turn those things you want into idols. I have one too many idols...it's time to sit before my father in heaven.
