Some people; worldly, sophisticated people, scoff at dependence on God. For me though, depending on God is infinitely more important than what people think.

Psalm 3:1-4

O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;

many are saying of my soul, 
“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, 
my glory, and the lifter of my head.

I cried aloud to the Lord, 
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
