Let Go... Give God control!

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." I Peter 5:6-11

Just let go! We've heard that before. It's easier said than done, right? It requires a ton of faith. Once you can let go, and turn everything over to God, it is the most amzing, freeing feeling. We have such a need to be in control of our lives. The reality of it is, we are not in control... even when we think we are. God is always in control. When we try to take control, we are fighting against Him. He knows what is best for us. Sometimes, things seem bad to us, like everything is going wrong, but God has a plan. We just have to release control to Him and let Him carry out His plan without our interference. We often make our own lives more difficult by interfering. So, as the saying goes...."Let go and Let God!"

Blessings!
