Where could I go but to the Lord

This past three weeks have been very challenging for me.  I have been overwhelmed with my work and seemed to be choking in it. Instead of depending on God, my time with Him was practically reduced to nothing.  With Him aside, I was faced with the toughest challenges I have ever experienced.  In all this chaos, I kept saying to myself, 'God is in control', whereas  I had placed Him second in all the chaos around me.  Although I called for His help every now and then, I, at the same time continued to struggle on my own as if I was in charge. 

The end-result; confusion, mediocre work produced and worse of it all, I lost the work we spent sleepless nights doing!

The long and short of this is that, the worse ever report was produced and I can only blame myself for it. 

In all the chaos, I lost sight of the fact that I could and can never make any success without the Lord's help and good guidance.  The Lord had been there all along but just waiting for me to call but didn't invite Him.

What makes a christian lose sight of the most important Helper of all times?  When faced with crisis, we forget that He is close at hand.  I never thought I would forget His promise in Psalm 50:15 Call on me in your times of trouble and I'll rescue you and you'll give me glory'  but I did, unfortunately.
