Losing Control


Do you ever feel as if your life is spinning out of control? During difficulty and times of testing, we can feel as if we’re losing control and our circumstances are too much for us to bear on our own.

Through these seasons, God works in our life and teaches us to trust him. God is in control of our life and we can put our trust in the One who controls all things.

Oh, but it can be so hard, can’t it? Especially when (if you’re like me) you thrive on being the one in control. In reality though, it is freeing to be able to entrust the details of our life to God. His presence in our life makes the difference even when we feel that we’re too small and the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against us.

This is something I’ve been considering this week: If you were absolutely confident that God was in control, what would your life look like? How would you respond to challenge and difficulty?

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5,6)
