We have to break down before G-d can raise us up. We all have free will to make our own decisions and pride ourselves on being in control but G-d isn't about control. He is ever watchful for the moment we decide to put our will on hold in order for His will to manifest. I am reminded of boot camp and the mental and physical rigors soldiers are subjected to. Actually, we're all in boot camp, just at different stages. At first there is doubt and resistance but as they let go, surrendering their will to the training, they find the old self fading away and a new triad of self emerging. Instead of acting independently of one another, the Mind, Body and Spirit are now working together as one. Things show up in our lives according to desire and need. Once we allow them in we reap the result which can be good or bad. Our life path is not solely directed by ourselves but is influenced by other unseen forces who have chosen to walk with us. Walking the path is fraught with pitfalls but also illuminated by spiritual guides who are tutoring and mentoring, standing by and waiting for our G-d Moment in which we ask G-d to take over. As we grow older we come to realize that we were never in control. At some point in our lives we all will admit to ourselves, "I just can't handle things anymore." We will surrender to that infinite higher source who is always there for us and willing to take up our load. At first we thought we were gods but now we find we're not.
