"Would" I put things down to God?

I already do - and have done for about 7 years.

The leap of faith I took was that no it's not all just "within me", but in the hands of God. That's what the basis of our faith is. I don't put each and every decision I make down to God - I'm sure he's not too bothered about what I have for dinner tonight. But he's there should I need to have something answered. And it's not simply a case of yes or no. "Not yet" is an answer, as is "you are currently where you need to be". Yes there are physical things we have no control over, but he does. We aren't to be reckless, for example no wearing a seatbelt because God will look after us. We are not to test him, that's a sign of weakened faith.
