There are always going to be things in our life that remain out of our control. So why do we stress over those things? We invest ourselves and make the issues we can't control OUR problem, even when they aren't. Our problems are the ones we can take action to solve. What do we do when things are just out of our hands?
I believe this all comes down to a trust issue. If we truly trust Jesus with our lives, or the lives of others, we would have no problem giving up the issues we can't control in prayer. Yet, we labor over these things and try to think of something that we can do to solve the issue. Why do we trust in our own power rather than Jesus'?
We need to have a revelation that many things are just beyond us. Sometimes Jesus will ask us to move after He has done all of the work behind the scenes that we are unaware of. It is foolish to make a move without Him to back you up. If He is the one guiding you there, you can bet He will back you up with His power and His favor. We should be striving to keep in step with the Spirit and His will because that's when things work out for the best.
When we face issues that we cannot control, pray. He has given us His name as an authority. Use it in prayer and speak to those issues, trusting God to act on your behalf. Pray until your Spirit is at peace. When you have truly released the issue to Jesus in prayer, you will no longer be anxious. His gift to us is peace that transcends all understanding. Operate in His peace and His will today and like the saying says, "let go, let God"-- He's got this.
