This made me think of when you "lose it." Something goes wrong in your life, and when you try to fix it, something else falls apart. Pretty soon, you've lost it. I think I've talked about this before a time or two, but Proverbs 3:5-6 is appropriate here.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths."
The opposite of trusting in the Lord is relying on your smarts and strength to get out of jams. Unfortunately, when we try to do things on our own, we usually end up "losing it." Instead, we ought to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways and allow him to straighten out our paths.
