When a truth of God is brought home to your soul, never allow it to pass without acting on it internally in your will, not necessarily exteriorly in your physical life. Record it with ink and with blood. Work it into your life. The weakest saint who transacts business with Jesus Christ is liberated the second he acts and God's almighty power is available on his behalf.
-- Oswald Chambers
I really like how my friend, Dawn, puts this here. The goal simply is not to transact with life on our own, or even to try to use God to make our lives work better. The goal is to learn to live with God...internally.
I so need God, not just for my survival (though, I need that, too), but for the health of my very being. I need to continue to learn to 'transact' with Him; to believe in Him; to walk with Him, to talk with Him, to give myself to Him...including the insignificant and petty details of my life. This is my only path to living liberated and with power.
