Taking Control and Letting Go

Me, controlling....yeah, the Lord has opened my eyes to this ugly characteristic. I have noticed my joy diminishing, my frustrations increasing and anger arising in my heart. How did I get here? It is such an unfamiliar place, such a lonesome place, and I am grateful that it is. I have been trying to take control of some major areas of my life. Forgetting that He is the victor and I will only fail without His guidance.

It is so freeing to release things to Him, to truly leave them at His feet. This is the place I am now in, letting go, allowing Him to take His rightful place on the throne of my heart, my life.
