Reflect
We crave control. Often we want to be in the driver’s seat of our own lives. But how realistic is that? How difficult is it for us to take a step back and relinquish our power?
Pray
Dear God,
I feel powerless,
unmoored,
adrift.
And I want that power back.
I want to calm my internal storm
and regain some control.
But then I remember that you
sent your son to the world
as a baby: holy and helpless.
Let me model that kind of surrender.
Give me the peace of mind to
let go and let God in.
Amen.
Act
Whenever you feel like you are not in control, just remember: You aren’t. When you are feeling anxious, close your eyes and say a quiet prayer of gratitude and humility.
