stuggling with letting go
Filed under: Ron's Reflections

As I type these words I am concerned about a happening that is beyond my control.  It is happening in the church and could affect some ministry.  But should I step in and take control or let it go.  I wrestle with this issue at many different levels.  What really amazes me is that I know in my head I cannot control everything that happens in the life of this church and yet a part of me what to do that very thing.  I don’t think of myself as a ‘control freak.’  But there is that part of my personality that wants life to be a certain way and I have good reasons it should be that way.  I know I need more of God’s grace and guidance in my life and I need that grace in dealing with many of life’s happenings that are not to my liking.

Daily I wrestle with letting God have control of my life.  In reality I have more than enough to do just taking care of my life.  So, I think I will take my mind off of what is going on around me and look a little deeper within myself.  I also am going to spend some time in prayer asking God what He wants me to do.  God really knows best.
