Effect of focusing on me and my selfish self centredness

Why did I have a second thought?
I was focusing on a problem and not on God.

Why didn’t I trust God?
I wanted to fix the problem quickly.
I can see a problem but not a solution, I start to feel insecure and my confident drops. I want more money.

God says I am the way
I wanted to do it my way, my way was more familiar, predictable and quicker.

Believing in something I cannot see. This was not taught in school.
School taught us to depend on knowledge and self -will.

When I focus on the problem, it can suddenly grow in strength and magnified many times and turn into fear, it can shake my confident and my trust in God, I can become impatient, anxious and panic, in the worst scenario, it could make me press the self-destruction button.

When I lost my focus on God, I make it harder for me to give up my self-will, it become so tempting to take back the control

What can I do?
Seeking God daily, praying to God, reading and listening to his words every day helps to refocus and grow in faith and strength. Thank you Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and Holy spirit for everything.

Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.
In Jesus’s name I pray.
Amen!
