The Declaration of Dependence | Pastor John Kilavos

Returning to Dependence
God never intended for us to carry life on our own. In Proverbs 3:5–6, we are reminded to trust the Lord completely instead of relying on our own understanding. Throughout Scripture, we see that everything God does is ultimately meant to draw us back to Him. Sometimes He uses brokenness to expose where our hearts have drifted, but His invitation is always greater than our failure. God isn't looking for religious activity—He's after a genuine relationship with us. Because of His kindness, grace, and faithfulness, we can confidently return to Him, surrender our control, and trust Him with every area of our lives. Dependence on God isn't a one-time decision; it's a daily choice to release control, walk in faith, and respond to His invitation today.
