Do you think we rely on God too much? We talk of relying on Him for a date or wife, or to get this thing or the other but do we rely on Him too much and not have confidence in ourselves? Share your thoughts.

By relying on Him, you have confidence in yourself. You are guaranteed the support of your Father; one who is infinitely more powerful than you.
However, if you rely on yourself alone, you deceive yourself into having confidence. For by our own powers we can do nothing, but with the Father we can do all things.
Thus, the more you trust in the Father, the more you rely on God, the more confidence you will have. "If our God is for us, who can be against us"?
Relying too much in God is like being in "too deep a relationship with Jesus", or "being too loving", or "being too sinless".
None of the above make sense; and relying on yourself alone makes no sense at all.

It depends.
Faith is awfully important, but the Lord’s not likely to put money in our pocket—we need to earn a living, if we can.

I do not think there is a limit on relying on God for everything in human perspectives. Relying is also represented as Faith and having Faith with Him always make life better i think

The question should be " Are we complete as humans without God". Since God dwells in all his creations, the answer is pretty obvious. Has anyone actual seen anyone totally void of God? It would be a scarry thing to meet.

Actually, something totally void of God wouldn't exist at all; God thrives in all things. If God is not in something, that's because it doesn't exist. If God removes himself from something, then it won't exist.
