From the time we’re young, we’re taught to be independent. To stand on our own. To not need anyone. But what if that message, though well-intentioned, is actually keeping us from the peace we long for?
In Be Transformed – New Life Awaits, we learn that dependence isn’t a weakness—it’s a design. God created us with divine needs that only He can meet. When we try to live independently of Him, we end up striving, controlling, and eventually burning out.
The Rock House Center podcast Embracing Dependence on God shares the story of someone who grieved the loss of their independence—only to discover that what they were really missing was peace. The truth is, independence can feel empowering, but it often masks a deeper fear: the fear of trusting someone else with our well-being.
God doesn’t ask us to be self-sufficient. He invites us to be God-sufficient. That means letting go of the illusion that we can manage life on our own and embracing the truth that we were made to walk in daily dependence on Him.
Dependence on God isn’t passive. It’s active trust. It’s choosing to believe that He is good, that He is near, and that He is enough. It’s surrendering our need to control and receiving His peace in return.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of life on your own shoulders, maybe it’s time to lay it down. Not in defeat—but in trust. Because the life you were made for begins where your independence ends.
