If you are not trusting God, then you are trusting in yourself and your abilities.

This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh

they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.
