Let go and let God!!!
So many problems in relationships are caused by people who want to control. Some people believe that if they can control other people and their circumstances they will be happy. They are scared stiff of taking their hands off situations in case things get out of control….their control.
It might interest you to know that God does not want to even control us. We used to talk about the Spirit controlled life. That is not a scriptural concept. The only time control is mentioned in the New Testament is self-control which is a fruit of the Spirit.
So often we see things happening and instead of praying about these things and trusting God, we dive in and seek to take control. This actually shows a lack of trust and faith in God.
Remember Peter when Jesus told him of his coming death… “This will never happen to you Lord”. In other words, “I won’t let it. I will stop it.” And Jesus told him, “That is the human reaction, not God’s”.  Allow God’s will to be done and stop trying to force your will on the situation.
As we work through this transition period there may be some who want to move in and try to control the process. Please pray that God will work His purposes in this place and let Him do it. Let go, and let God!!!
God Bless you!
