It is so hard for us when we feel like we aren't in control of a situation, but this is ironic for two reasons. First of all, our desperate attempts to control, manipulate, or fix one area of our lives usually manifests itself in lack of control in another area (like eating too much or too little). Second, we really are not in control of anything in the first place. Growing in the gospel requires us to let go of what we think we have control of and acknowledge God's utter sovereignty over all things. Only then can we truly rest.
