If God were a psychologist and had to submit reports to himself, this might be his latest. I've submitted it for your enjoyment in APA format.    

 

Introduction 

It appears to be common among the human race, to desire to have control and power over lifes circumstances.  This includes issues related to finance, work, family, and health.  Of course, mankind should not try to control their future but submit to God's will and place their trust in Him. It is hypothesised, that if man were to lose the ability to control his own life and direction, his trust and faith in God for provision would increase.   

 

Method

 

Participants

A female, married mother of three in her late twenties, was intentionally preselected for this study due to an extremely high tendency to assert her own power and control over situations rather than relying on God and having faith in Him alone.  

 

Materials  

The females dependence on herself to find answers and attempt to regain control was weighed against her dependance and faith in God over her future.  These two variables were measured by God.   

 

Procedure

Through various circumstances the females assurance of financial stability, family health or the future of the children became unstable.  Though control was never really hers to begin with, the allusion of control over these matters was taken away so that subject would feel powerless.      

 

Results

With no resources of her own to turn to, it was determinded that the female began to place more reliance and faith in God to provide for her future, than in her own efforts.  She gained a renewed thirst for God's Word and began to concentrate more on trying to place her trust in Him than to try to continue to control her circumstances.  

 

Discussion

The results of this study were consistent with the hypothesised outcome.  As the female had less control, she relied on God more.  Further research in this area may include blessing the woman with everything she has ever desired to see if she continues to place her faith and trust in God.
