Taking Control

One of my biggest spiritual challenges is having faith. I’m not talking about faith that there is a God. I’m talking about faith that God will take care of each situation. I’m talking about having faith to relinquish control.

I’m struggling with that right now. I want to do something. I even have an idea in mind of what to do. I’m not saying it’s the best option but it is the only one I can imagine right now. Knowing that it’s a terribly inadequate solution doesn’t make it easier to resist the temptation. I have to bite my tongue, let go and let it be.

Inaction does not necessarily equal denial or apathy. Sometimes inaction is a practice of faith. Sometimes we just have to let things be as they are and allow God to work.

Lord, give me the strength to resist this urge to take control.
