God is in control

It can be very hard sometimes to give control of our lives over to someone else…. even if that someone else is God. What we need to remember is that we were never in control in the first place. We only THINK that we are in control. It is easy to give control over to God when we realize that He is in control regardless if we relinquish control or not.
I am a huge control freak and thought I had to control everything in my life but when I submitted myself to God and gave complete control over to Him I felt at peace with myself for the first time in my life. It is when we learn to let go and trust God that we can only truly feel at peace. I read something that had a profound impact on my life and I will share it with you:

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety. God narrowed it down: the difference between having or not having peace is having or not having faith.
AND:
This is God. I will be handling your problems today. I do not need your help so have a nice day!

Whether we admit it or not God is in control. We can worry and have anxiety or we can give it to God and let Him deal with it and we can be at peace in our lives. It is up to you. Sometimes I give my problems or anxieties to God and then I take them back that is not having faith and trusting in God. Give it to God and leave it there. He does not need our help.
God is in control! Learn to let go!!!

Blessings
