Morning Meditation With @elian23khan|| Let Go, Allow God to Lead

“Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth." Psalm 46:10 (GW)

Whenever it is a new day, you are presented with an opportunity to decide who’s going to be in control of your life. Will it be you or God?

Deciding to allow God control your life is a battle because there are areas in your life you want to be completely in charge. You will always want to make your own rules. But if you desire a stress free life, you will have to give up and start with letting God be God. It always starts with saying, “God, take over and lead on, because only you can control the things that are out of control in my life.”

You might have been wondering why you are usually stressed up. When you try to control things that only God can control, the result is obviously stressful day. You can’t control your partner, your children, your job, your future, or your past. When you try to take the place of God, it means you are inviting God to a fight. And the result is obvious. You are not only going to lose that fight, but you’re also going to be tired and stressed out.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth” (GW).

I don’t know what you will face today or this week. You don’t know either. But one thing I know beyond a doubt is what God wants you to do, He wants you to let him take over and control your life. And He wants you trust Him in all He is doing.

Letting go and trusting God is the first step to serenity.

You know each time we face life challenging and stressful situations, we often take one of two extremes. For example for some of you, the more challenging your life gets, the harder you try to control it. For others, it is the exact opposite: You just give up and have a pity party.

Both of those reactions to stress are foolish. They don’t work. You know common sense will tell you that giving up and throwing a pity party or trying even harder to control things is not the best option. What you need to do, which is the right thing is: you need to pray, asking God to take control

Many people recites (in the name of praying) the Lord’s Prayer, but most have never read the last eight lines to the prayer: “Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.”¹

That’s where the power is! Your strength, your authority, that ability you need to live a stressed free life comes only when you surrender to God anything you’ve been trying to control.

Do have a Blessed day
