Let Go and Trust: Finding Peace in Surrender. 🕊️

Letting Go Of Control

We all like to feel in control—of our plans, our relationships, our future. But what happens when life takes an unexpected turn, and the control we thought we had slips through our fingers? Recently, I found myself frustrated, trying to keep everything in my life in order, only to feel like the more I held on, the more things unraveled. It was in one of these moments, feeling overwhelmed, that I realized God never called me to carry the weight of the world on my own shoulders. He calls me to trust Him, even when I don't understand.

Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Letting go of control doesn’t mean giving up—it means surrendering our plans to the One who knows the way better than we do. God has a plan for our lives, and He sees the bigger picture. When we surrender, we open ourselves to His peace, knowing that He is leading us even through the chaos.

This week, let’s choose to release our tight grip on the things that worry us most. Instead, let’s lift our hands in surrender and trust that God is working all things together for our good. He is in control, and that is more than enough.
