You’ve planned more, thought more, and analyzed more. If you’re honest, you’ve worried more too, all in the hope that managing every detail will keep disappointment away.
Valarie talks openly about how control gives us a temporary sense of security, and how trying to hold what belongs to God eventually leaves us exhausted. Some things are simply beyond our reach. Trust asks something different of us: to faithfully do what God has given us to do, then release the outcome to Him. Prayer helps us separate responsibility from control by asking two simple questions. What is mine to do, and what belongs to God? Surrender isn’t passivity or giving up. It’s trust. Today’s prayer asks God to show us where we’re holding what belongs in His hands, give us wisdom for our responsibilities, and remind us when uncertainty makes us anxious that He is already there.
