Giving Up

"It wasn't until I gave up the control, that I finally began to feel in control."

 

Thinking back just two years ago, I reflect on the emotions of fear, doubt, and questions of "what if" that consumed my life at that time.  

I realize now, that by trying so hard to control situations and outcomes in my life, the door was opened to have fear control me.

After growing weary of fighting a losing battle, I finally began a journey of surrender to God's help of conquering fears in my life. Now I feel as though I am walking a road of victory one step at a time, hand in hand with Holy Spirit!

 

Striving to surrender control, and learning to fully trust in God, has empowered me to feel more "in control." By that I simply mean, placing my faith in God has helped me to have self control, peace, joy and stability, regardless of my situations and circumstances!

Wow! What a difference life has become! Giving Christ all control, allows us to have control over the very things that do not come from Him. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7

 

I gotta tell the world....with God, you can trade fear for confidence, depression for joy, confusion and doubt for peace...and the list goes on and on! So if there are any negative emotions controlling you today, give up the control to Christ and you'll find freedom to live a more controlled and secure life!
