Don't Ask God to Make the Road Easier — Prepare Yourself for the coming Journey Proverbs 16:3 — "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." It's interesting how often we ask God to make our path a little easier. I have to admit, I have done it myself. We ask Him to help us win the lottery, beat a team we're competing against, or give us an advantage over someone else. In essence, we're asking God to pick sides and bless us rather than someone else.
