INVITING JESUS INTO the MESSنموونە

Control Won’t Save You

I spent years trying to manage every outcome, relationship, reputation, and even my healing. I believed that if I just stayed in control, I could stay safe. But control doesn’t equal peace. It’s just fear in disguise. Peace comes when you stop trying to be your own protector and start trusting God to be who He says He is. You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to trust that God already has. When you let go of control, you make room for His comfort. Sometimes surrender looks like silence, sitting in the presence of God with empty hands and an open heart, saying, “I don’t know how to fix this, but I trust You.”

Reflection:

• Where are you trying to stay in control instead of trusting God?
• What’s one way you could surrender that to Him today?
