Do we want to live our way or God's way?

There is a very clear issue and it is that many times we trust in our own knowledge but we also want to have the blessings of God, and trusting in our own knowledge often restricts us from the blessings that God has for us.
11 In those days it happened that Moses had grown up and went out to his brothers, and saw them in their hard work, and he observed an Egyptian beating one of the Hebrews, his brothers. 12 Then he looked around, and seeing that no one appeared, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting; then he said to the one who was mistreating the other: Why do you beat your neighbor? 14 And he answered: Who made you a prince and judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? Then Moses was afraid, and said: Surely this has been discovered. 15 When Pharaoh heard about this deed, he sought to kill Moses; But Moses fled from Pharaoh and lived in the land of Midian. 16 While he was sitting at the well, seven daughters of the priest of Midian came to draw water to fill the troughs and water their father's sheep. 17 But the shepherds came and drove them out of there. Then Moses got up and helped them and watered their sheep. 18 When they came to Reuel their father, he said to them, "Why have you come so early today?" 19 "An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds' hands and drew water for us and watered the sheep." 20 "He said to his daughters, 'Where is he? Why have you left this man? Call him to eat.'" 21 So Moses agreed to live with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses as a wife. 22 She bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, "I am a stranger in a strange land."
23 After many days the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of their bondage and cried out; and their cry came up to God because of their bondage. 24 Then God heard their groaning and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 Then God looked upon the Israelites and recognized them.
Exodus 2:11-25
There is no day when a challenge presents itself and there are two basic ways to react, God's way or our way. Here we have the great example of Moses who has experienced both God's way and his own way. We see how he has taken the matter of the abusive Egyptian into his own hands even though his motive was legitimate the method he implemented was incorrect, this shows us the mistakes that Moses made.
Let's examine your situation a little, Moses focused directly on the difficulty, haven't we done the same many times? The injustice or pain that a situation causes calls our attention immediately we want to solve it and just like Moses we seek to act immediately without consulting God for guidance.
Just as Moses also trust in our own strength and our own intellectual capacity, as we know and from experience when a problem arises the natural response is to do whatever is within our reach to obtain a solution, even so God wants us to trust in him and not in our own strength.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And do not lean on your own understanding.
