Is GOD in Control?!

Is GOD in Control?!


We all have Concerns
Some Concerns that are Shared with Others
Some Concerns Only Lodged Within
Most of us have to Work on Not Worrying

As a woman of Faith,
I’ve been taught, “Do Not Worry” because God Is In Control

I’m reflecting on that for “this share”

The question for me is, if I believe God Is “truly” In Control, why should I worry?
Worry, as I reflect, I believe is a taught behavior 
It comes from those around us and is delivered by their fears and their beliefs
It comes from our thoughts and experiences that have shifted our lives to various degrees.

Picture

Consider
A baby, a toddler learning to walk
They are wobbly and they are in their zone trying to learn
And then of course they fall down

If you are "not intentionally" looking at the child 
They will just try again to get up and walk
But if you look with concern at their falling down
Most often they will engage with that look and begin to cry
It was the person’s face of concern that created the moment of fear
The child sensed that something was wrong

Is GOD in Control?!


I believe in God, my Creator, and my Faith, my surrender is in that He Knows
My End from the Beginning
And
For this Heart that brings Comfort 

This Heart Intentionally believes what the word says
Above how I feel
An Exercise, an intent, a decision, a choice “in every moment”

Faith is not being able to see the next step but choosing to
Trust in God and to continue forward anyway.


Faith amid uncertainty, surrendering “those concerns” to God, to sit and be still, releasing 
“all those things we don’t understand"
This is not a share or declaration, that this process is easy, but sharing instead this is an intent, a decision, a choice “in the moments”

​I came across a short story that inspired this share.


The Story, 
People live in the Middle of Two Thieves 

One thief on one side robbing them of Peace.
Because
Of what has happened in the Past



The thief on the other side
Robs them of Peace.
Of
what might happen in the Future 

That is a lot of time robbed. 

Most live their life by telling God about their Troubles
Instead of telling their Troubles about God
What a great story at least for this heart


Is GOD in Control?!


We Have Now
We Have This Moment
And
Living Grateful allows this Heart to Locate Beautiful
In the moments
Which has now become an exercise, a decision, a choice 
Knowing and exercising daily in this way 
Has allowed and continues this Heart to rob the Thief Named Regret
In every single way
In all that surrounds me



I believe God is In Control
Im not naive
I recognize even knowing this Firsthand
There will be more days that I will have to pray through 
That I will have to work through
Focusing on not allowing Worry to become my Perspective

Reminding myself that God is In Control
I will Cry Through
I will Laugh Through
I will Love Through
But
When I get through “those moments”
My Focus
Will Remain the Same
I Know God is In Control 

Is GOD in Control?!

Is GOD in Control?!

I’m Grateful to have a Relationship with God
A Relationship with God
For This Heart 
A Relationship Which is More Valuable than a Religion
A Relationship with God
Who Directs, who guides
Who Loves beyond measure
I’m his creation
I’m his daughter
God, He calls me Friend, John 15:15

"No One Said Easy"
