Do you ever have one of those days when things that are out of your control simply get out of control? It's funny how those things which are beyond our control tend to put us out of control with frustration, anxiety and such. It's easy to forget to remain in peace.
How easily I forget... that I almost didn't make it back in February. Yet when the hour keeps getting later on the clock, the more frustrated I seemed to get. It's out of my hands. If it were in my hands...hmmm... my, how things would look different.
But that's just it... it's not in my hand. So rather than be frustrated at the people who don't have the control of things either, I might as well count to 10, take a deep breath, grit the teeth if I have to and say a prayer, "Lord, You've got to help me here."
One never knows how much they are a control freak until they are out of control. I don't like being frustrated but yet I still fly off the handle sometimes. I say things I shouldn't say. I act in ways that I know I shouldn't act. I want to cry, scream kick, yell. Who is that hurting? Myself.
I must remember that getting frustrated isn't going to help me in the health department. Getting stressed isn't going to make my life any easier. As much as I want a change, it hasn't happened yet. That doesn't mean I give up looking. It does mean that I need to find a content place.
Life is too short to get upset over everything.
I remember hearing God say to my heart a while ago, "You may feel like you've let go but I haven't let go of you." That is so reassuring cause I know many a time we give Him plenty of reasons to want to let go. That's the power of grace in a nutshell.
So today, I take off my crown, and lay it down. I trust the One who loves me more than I deserve. I relinquish control.
Maybe this is my well experience.
