The basic psychological problem is trying to be what we are not, and trying to carry what we cannot carry. Most of all, is not being willing to be the creatures we are before the Creator...there is nothing complicated about it; he is squashed trying to bear what no one except God Himself can bear because only God is infinite...
...Since the Fall we have points of weakness. With some of us it tends to be physical; with some it tends to be psychological. If we carry what we cannot, the blowout will come and it will come at the place of our inherent weakness...We refuse to acknowledge the existence of God, or - even though acknowledging his existence intellectually - in practice we refuse to bow before Him in the midst of our moment by moment lives.
