Letting God Be In Control

Life can be pretty crummy at times. It’s easy the think that we are going to be bomb at going straight to God when we are struggling. Its down downright hard sometimes to let God have control. Sometimes I think “I got this one, God,” when that cannot be further from the truth. When the challanges are not deep or there were not piling on top. I could easily think I’m a pro at this. Then I realize no matter what its easy no matter what its best to go to God.

My day started a little crazy I have been getting migraines again after 4 days I was ready to get back to life after resting up and getting rid of it. I managed to be late for a Bible study, get a nail in my tire, and spill a big cup of iced tea on me all in about 5 minutes. I made an appointment to get my tire fixed which took 2 hours, evidently having an appointment didn’t mean a thing. I was frustrated because of a crappy day. All because I didn’t stop and let God take control.

There is no denying that I didn’t need to rush into things with no guidance. I’ve done this before and it never works out. I wonder when I am going to learn. Proverbs 3:5 is a scripture I need to write on the tablet of my heart and remember, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Then maybe my life would be smooth sailing. After all, giving up control to God would be so much easier when He can run my life the way I desire Him to.

Our lives can become a whole lot better when we say, “I’m going to run to you with all my troubles because I know you can sort things out,”

For me, it’s not that I don’t have faith or trust God with my life. It’s because I get in too big of a hurry to stop and ask Him to help me or thinking I have something under control when I clearly don’t.

It’s about recognizing I will never know Him fully, but choosing to grow deeper in my relationship with Him enough to let go when things begin to get crummy. And trusting that He will fix it, if I listen and obey.
