"I don't know what to do!" can be a good thing

In Larry Crabb's book, The Silence of Adam, he believes that, until a man comes to the place where he looks into the chaos of life and says to God (or anyone who will listen), "I don't know what to do!" he cannot begin to find God's will in his life. As long as a man can solve a problem with a quick fix, he will not truly need God's help nor will he desperately cling to the hem of God's robe: he will always think he can manage. With this attitude, God is only allowed to tag along as a helper to this man, and, until the man is without hope of solving his problem or problems, he will never know what it is like to rely completely and solely upon God.
