For me it is being self sufficient and believing that seeking help is a sign of weakness. My perspective of this was false for way to many years. Leaning on God and others actually reveals great wisdom and strength.

Robert these are the same verses I pray each morning...asking God for directions in life is of utmost importance. without him we quickly get lost...he says ask and ye shall receive, let down your pride, submit to him in all things and he will always be there quick to answer!
let me add always take time to praise him...HE INHABITS IN OUR PRAISES...God has shown me it is the strongest weapon in our arsenal the enemy cannot penatrat it nor can he get near us when we praise our creator....God bless you all..

Call it what you will - pride, ego, being male😋, hypocrisy. When things are going really well in life, I occasionally forget that it's not just because of ME. I need to honor God. The most valuable gift - being saved by grace - I never earned. Mind blown when I stop and contemplate it. THAT is when I give my deepest thanks, re-focus and get back to following His path. It's humbling really.

I'm not sure I asked for directions at first, at least not directly. I do know that when I realized it, I had no choice but to submit to God. What a feeling it was instantly when I had accepted them. And what a path he has put me on. Praise him in all ways! Thank you GOD for all that you have given me and for the directions you continually give me!

Resisting the act of asking “directions” is a function of pride. Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Admit up front we need the Lord, and then go ALL IN for Jesus and let Him guide your life. It’s not giving up, it realizing you need a more powerful source of guidance in your life. Love you Jesus! 🤎💛💜💙

I feel Men not asking for directions, it is because of our EGO. Our ego gets in the way of going the right path. Let’s not let our ego get in the way of living a healthy Christian life. Ask for help daily to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus. I Love you Jesus. Amen 🙏

Ever notice the longer we resist asking for directions, the more bitter we grow, until finally we break down and say “Fine!”… it’s much more peaceful to ask directions each morning and give thanks for a safe arrival each night, then waiting one week at a time… Thank you God for always being in my passenger seat, all I have to do is ask.

Amen! praise God. To say that we don't need a little guidance or help would mean that we are prideful. God resists the prideful. I need God. Doesn't make us any less of a man to depend on God

I often find myself trying do life my way and by myself. But i do have strong relationships with other christian men and my fiancé walks with the lord. We take time talk about scripture and the impact the lord has had in our daily life.

Worshipping helps get me refocused! God is good! He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Holy! Holy! Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was, who is , and who is to come! He is eternally God and eternally good! Praise the Lord! Bless the Lord o my soul! And all that is within me bless His holy name!
74/365: Finding Your Way
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ~ Proverbs 3:6
Why are some guys reluctant to ask for directions? Perhaps the act of asking someone for directions is more or less admitting defeat.
Without a map, GPS, or trail makers - you can quickly lose your way. Fortunately, a Christian life is packed full of well marked trails which can get you back on track.
GO DEEPER: Luke 12: 8-10
NEXT STEP:
Here are a few GPS points you can save on your spiritual map to get back on track.
- God never moves. He can always be found in your prayer time
- Sit down with a fellow believer to discuss what's happening
- Worship with a heart full of gratitude to get back on
