Control

If you understand this you will know peace.

Some things are within the power of Are you struggling with trying to make a dream come true? Are you frustrated in a relationship, trying to make someone else change or live out their destiny? You may mean well, you may have good goals, but if you are trying to orchestrate things to happen your way, on your timetable, you are only going to frustrate yourself. At some point, you have to turn those circumstances over to God and trust that He has your best interest at heart. How do you turn things over to God? Start by making the choice and declaring your resolve. Simply say, “God, I choose to let You be God of this situation. I take my hands off. I trust You.”  Today, take the pressure off yourself and turn things over to God. Give Him control and let Him take your setbacks and turn them into comebacks. Remember, the God who holds the universe holds you in the palm of His hand. Trust Him and let God be God in every area of your life!  Are you trusting God with the things you can’t control?
