David’s raw cry for help and Jesus’ call to abide reveal the same truth: we are sustained by God, not ourselves. In our most fragile moments, surrender opens the door for God’s provision, protection, and peace.

Hosea shows us what happens when we take credit for God’s blessings. Faulty thinking leads to faulty worship. But even in our wandering, God invites us back—to humility, gratitude, and dependence on Him.
