You Don’t Have Control

     Worries. Responsibilities. Finances. Relationships. Work. Health. Life and all of its little categories, we are forever guilty in being so caught up in them and the discouragement, anxiety, and worries that they very often bring. We are so busy searching for how we, in our own power can fix things, or how they will play out themselves, that very seldom do we remember it is beyond our own ability. That there is a greater source, a mighty hand who already has all the seeming chaos under total control. Who already has a plan much more beautiful, much more perfect, than one we could ever devise for our now or for our later.

“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us, we are wondering how painful the best will be.” (C. S. Lewis)

     If you feel you are loosing control of your life–or areas of it, it is because the control wasn’t yours to begin with. Often times we’re too scared to let go and let God so we attempt to fix it all ourselves. If we are to have absolute faith, we are to rid ourselves of the worry, anxiety, & fear of what may happen. But in those times that it is hardest to, to remember what Romans 8:28 tells us:

“And we know that ALL things work together for the good of those who love The Lord.”

      We don’t always know what will happen, we don’t have control. But if we let go of our fears, hold onto faith, and cling to Christ, oh how marvelously the beauty of faith is revealed to us. God’s got this, you are merely to trust in him, and have faith deeper than your Father’s oceans. //
