Dear control,
It has been a good run. You have helped me be a very organized person. You have helped me coordinate some great events in college and I thank you for that. It has been nice knowing you, really. Up to this point in my life you have been very helpful, but lately you are dragging me down. So I think it is time that we part ways. I will no longer let you control me! You do not get to dictate how I feel about people because they don’t act or think a certain way. God created everyone differently and perfectly. You no longer get to cause anxiety in me over things I can or cannot control. I hate that about you. I hate how you cause a rock in my chest to form over the silliest things that I shouldn’t worry about.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34
I am a daughter of the Most High King! I do not need to be in control because He is! I have learned that when I open my hands and let go of the things I feel I need to hold onto, or things I feel like I can do alone and let go He is able to show His power. Seeing God’s power, well, it blows me away.
“For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword.” Hebrews 4:12
Control you no longer get to dictate my attitude, how I act or react, my feelings, my stress level, my anxiety, my life. You have lost your power over my life and me! My life will be better in the end for it. I want my life to be completely controlled by God.
Lord I am giving my need for control over to you, I am giving my problem with anxiety over to you. Take them from me Lord, free me from this bondage. God guide me, I give you permission Lord to have control over my life. I no longer need to do it, I know that things are always brighter and have a bigger impact on me when You are in control. I want to see Your power God; I am letting go so that you can take hold.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
