Fear: the fear of losing control

Fear: the fear of losing control by ric Gustafson


The fear of losing control is worrying that if you cannot control the outcome of future events something unpleasant or terrible might happen. This fear causes stress, health problems and steals our peace and joy. God's ways are not our ways. Proverbs 3:6 encourages us to acknowledge God in all of our ways. God wants us to follow his plan for our lives not ours. God will try to guide us but he won't force us to do the right thing. We want certainty but we live in a world of uncertainty. Certainty makes us feel safe. We are safe with God but we must learn to believe it and trust him.
Even when life hurts, God wants us to trust him. Life won't change so we must change. We must expect the unexpected and let God control it.
God will take care of us always if we lose control of our lives and let God take care of us.
