Dear Trapped,
This verse has helped me regarding what you described (passivity, over-analysis, etc.):

Proverbs 16:9 - "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps. "

There is nothing wrong with planning, and acting on our plans. Because we love and trust the Lord, He guides us as we move forward. But He doesn't usually guide us if we do nothing.

This prayer from Thomas Merton is a great description of a healthy dependence on the Lord, even as we make our own decisions. I love this prayer. It puts Witness Lee and his teachings to shame. This is what a humble spirit looks like.

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone
