A Reflection On Control

When I am anxious about a situation

Are you going through a difficult trial? Relinquish your goals in it. In your heart, transfer ownership of the situation to God. Our anxiety comes from a false sense of control—a sense that we perhaps are responsible to manipulate the crisis to work out for good. That’s God’s job. Be willing for Him to work it out any way He chooses. Let go of your will, and let your heart and your mind be at peace.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace.

Philippians 4:6-7
