Psalm 2
Ask of me and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your possession.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
A lot of people has failed to ask. To ask is to acknowledge that the Lord is God, and that He can provide. It is easier to ask then to work for it. By doing so, we are depending on our strength, but by asking we humble ourselves and recognize the soverignity of God. As, such, I pray and ask for the impossible and that I will submit all plans to you, humble and acknowledge that you are my God.
Fear, (Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge) refers and again showed the awe and power of God, the creator of heven and earth. Why should we fear, because we are mere man. Trust in kings, they will fail, and so are other being that we put our trust in. The key word in Pro is beginning - first. It shows a desire, first also tell of priority and not refer to the start. IT is not because you fear then you then follow by knowledge. Fear God because we desire it as a priority, then knowledge will follows. For how would one gains wisdom and knowledge if we refuse to come to God and ask for it, or worst place ourself above God and think that we know a lot. I pray that I will put you first above all things. Forgive me that I think too highly of myself.
Lastly, refuge shows the provision of God for us in trouble. If we choose to fight, and not go into the city of refuge, we might die.
Therefore, in all my ways, acknowledge Him. You are my God and it is in you that I commit my plans to you.

hi it is wonderful you acknowledge your weakness to god. isn't it ironical that what we deem our "strength" becomes our weakness unless accompanied by a humble and contrite heart? for god draws near to the humble.
