It seems like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it? Because when it comes down to it, God is in control of everything. But we often try to assert our own control and defy or disobey Him. Let me give you some ideas on how to relinquish that control and enrich our relationship with God.
1. Talk To God.
God wants to spend time with us. Spend time talking to Him. Talk openly and freely about everything. Let Him know that you’re struggling to let go of control and invite Him to help you.
2. Read The Bible.
When we read the scriptures, we get to know God. It makes perfect sense that the more we know someone, the more we learn their character. It’s easier to trust God when we know Him. Read the Bible. This is a great way to give God control of our lives because we learn more about Him and His nature.
3. Listen To God.
The Lord speaks to us. However, it’s important that we listen to what He has to say. It’s important to hear the direction He will tell us through His Word and that still, small voice that He talks to us with. Sometimes He talks to us through the circumstances He brings into our lives. No matter what, listen to God.
4. Remember To Thank God.
The Lord is so good. Even if we struggle with control, approach God with a thankful heart. Show Him gratitude for all He’s done for us. It’s easier to release control when we’re thankful for what He has done for us. Even if it’s the small things that we are not able to control; thank Him.
God loves us and He wants to help each one of us. Through reading the Bible, prayer, a listening ear, and a thankful heart, we can have victory over our need to control our lives. As we hand more over to Him, we will find peace and the clarity of God’s will for our life, and the amazing thing is He promises it.
