God bless you, know that God cares for us so much. He doesn’t want us to feel burdened, stressed or worried. In fact, in the Bible, Jesus commands us not to worry (Matthew 6:25-34). Isn’t it amazing that God loves us so much that he doesn’t want us to worry about anything? Not only that, when we worry, we are disobeying God. Anxiety distances us from God and keeps us from focusing on pure obedience to Him.
When we try to control our lives, we filled with worry and anxiety. The weight of the world is on our shoulders, like a huge burden. When we attempt to take control of our lives, relying on our own wisdom and our own power instead of seeking God’s guidance, we are doomed to failure. We become our own God, telling Him he’s not good enough.
So, let us surrender to Him. Cast our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5). Jesus died on the cross to release us from the power and penalty of sin. Then He rose again to show His mastery over everything, even the grave.
When you let God have control of your life, He will guide your decisions and give you wisdom. Any hardships you endure will make your faith stronger, if you trust Him to work through them. Since God knows your past, and holds the future in His hands, why wouldn’t you want to give Him control? He will never lead you in the wrong direction. So, what does it look like to surrender control of your life to God?
Trust Him. Rely on Him. Glorify Him and acknowledge Him in everything you do and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Consult the Lord in prayer before every decision, large or small. Begin every day with Him, asking Jesus to be your Lord as well as Savior.
Write ‘Amen’ if you commit to do thus, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus. May God bless you.
