For a long time I tried to be in control of my life. I have attempted to change the decisions other people make.
One of the reasons you may be struggling in life is you might be controlling what you do not need to control.
You only need to control what you only need to control. If you are trying to control what you do not need to control, this can hurt you as your decision accuracy may not very good. God would not be Who He Is is He did not try to help you.
God in His heart wants nothing more than you.. I believe when you, in your heart, know that God wants nothing more than you, you will no longer be as motivated to want to be in control of what you do not need to be in control of.
1 Samuel 7:3 So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning to the Lord with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths and commit yourselves to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Matthew 11: 28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
