God In The Middle

So many people don't God with the respect He deserves. We pray before every meal, praise God in worship on Sundays, read our bibles in intended times and then the rest of the time we live our lives as though we can do it on our own. I'm watching families, marriages, homes, people...fall apart and this was not God's plan for us. In the garden Adam and Eve walked with God and He was the center, their  marriage did not fail...until that one tree...in the middle of the garden...became the center of their lives. It's what they thought about, what they cared about. We have many "trees in the center of our lives and one of the biggest ones is the one that is called Pride. When we think we can go on with life without God and things will magically work and we end up questioning God why He would allow these things to happen to us. You can't get through life on your own. It may work for some time, it may work for a long time, but it won't work forever. Things eventually fall apart and when that happens we immediately turn to God but what if it's our own fault that things are falling apart?
This is my point: If you start a project without looking at the instructions and it falls apart and breaks, is it the instructions fault? Do you immediately go to manufacturers and complain it's their fault? It is ultimately your fault for trying to do it on your own.
