When I was a young guy, I bought my first car with a steering column lock.  It locked up on me - with a key in the ignition - as I was taking a freeway curve at 75 miles an hour.  I went off a small cliff.  Yes, I said a quick prayer to God.  We look at Jeremiah, Isaiah, and a Psalm to learn just what we should be doing with our lives BEFORE we turn to God for help.
