There
comes a time in all of our lives when the things we thought would happen just
didn't happen for whatever reason. But God wants us to be still and know that
He sees every tear and every challenge we have faced. He is telling us to
"Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10.
Being
still is so very hard for a child, and sometimes even as an adult. We can get very
anxious, acting like a little child, wanting what we want, thinking we have
everything figured out. We may think we have grown to maturity and have everything all figured out. We have not! We must stand and look into the
face of our great and mighty Maker and say Woe is me, for I am still childish.
“Take control of my life, Lord, and bring me to the place you want me to be, even though I may be kicking and rebelling all the time against you and your plan for my life. Yes, Lord please pick me up and correct me, as I know you are a good Father and what you do will be for my own good. Times are changing fast, and I lose my way. I must have your supervision to make my way to the place you have prepared for me and my family. Change me, Lord into your image and into the Christian adult you want me to be. In your Holy Righteous Name, I do humbly ask." Jesus, Take Control!
