Many of us may have grown up where we were constantly ignored or disappointed. Our needs were simply not met. Maybe we became self-sufficient, determined never to ask or need any one's help ever again. This pride born of hurt keeps us to varying degrees from God's help (we simply do not ask for it because of thoughts like "I should be able to do such and such on my own"). The simple awareness of this prideful effort, so honestly come by, may well dissolve the problem.
I believe God wants in, on all the little problems as well as the large. Besides the more discussing I do with God, the greater our relationship and the stronger my sense of it.
I will explore with God in my next two-way prayer session the depth of this problem in my own life; I want to determine a solution to my holding back in this type of asking (for any and every small need as well as the huge). To be humble and do the 7th step to my utmost, I must do this.
