I have family members who fall into this fanatical way of thinking too.  This is why I love this quote so much and want to save it for future reference.

I've seen this in friends and family's lives where they turn EVERYTHING to the Lord. I once had a friends mom who "prayed to find a parking spot." That kind of shift to the Lord takes any sense of accountability away from you.

Personal decision making is one of the sources of the growth we are meant to experience in mortality. Persons who try to shift all decision making to the Lord and plead for revelation in every choice will soon find circumstances in which they pray for guidance and don’t receive it. For example, this is likely to occur in those numerous circumstances in which the choices are trivial or either choice is acceptable.
