Do you feel most comfortable when you’re the one in control? How often do you release the reins on everyday tasks and allow others to help you, trusting that God has control over that, too?
Control can feel comforting, but it’s a fragile substitute for trust.
To realign our hearts to trust God more than ourselves, we need to recognize that our need for control might be rooted in fears that God doesn’t have our best interests at heart, that He won’t come through, or that He doesn’t care. A good place to start is by speaking Psalm 27:1 aloud when our need for control arises. We can proclaim that our Father is our safe space and our salvation. We don’t need to fearfully control everything because He’s already holding it all together for us and wants what’s best for us.
Father, I’m so grateful You’re the One who’s in control. Forgive me for trying to take over and hold everything together. Help me have the courage to release my control and to trust You to work everything out for my good and Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
