Sweet Surrender- Episode #3

We often times have moments where we just want to be IN control.  We want the answers.  We scour the internet, reach out to friends, and read books searching for them.  In the house, we seek control by wanting everything a certain way.  At work, we want to know our next steps and what is to come.  In our family, we want the best for our children and we try to guide, direct, and even control their every move.  The need for control is seen all over the place, and even when we struggle as hard as possible, we start to realize that we are not in control.  Many of us have already discovered this time and time again, but have you accepted it?  What about not only accepting it, but actually celebrating it?  In this week's podcast we will discuss the idea of wanting to be in control and finding joy when we truly accept and celebrate the One who is over it all.


Memory Verse:
 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."   1 Peter 5:6-7

Call to Action:
Make a list of some things in your life that you need to stop trying to control.  What are you holding onto too tightly that you need to release over to God and allow him to guide and direct?  Add to your list during the week if you need too, but once you write it down practice letting it go and surrendering.  Pray and say, "No, Lord I trust you.  You are in control."
