Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, I thought by now this “I-must-be-in-control” obsession would be under Your control. You see how it’s an ongoing battle. You ask me to trust You. That’s faith. This ‘control’ thing bucks at this idea of surrendering to an unknown that’s not in my hands. But with Your Spirit’s constant help, I can surrender my controlling desires to Your will. By Your Spirit, I will help others get ahead, especially those my carnal nature considers competition. With Your love in me, I will lift the fallen brother or sister without making false judgments or pointing fingers. And only by Your Spirit, can I love the unlovely. As long as I live in Your grace with humility, the carnal desire control is never resurrected again. My prayer, Lord, is to live in the truth of Romans 12:3. “By God’s grace given to me, I will not think more highly of myself than I ought to think, but I will administer ‘sober’ judgment about my redeemed self, according to the faith God has given me.”
Forgive our sins. May we repent as a people and as individuals so You can heal our nation. Only You can unite us again.
Daily choosing to release control to You, Jesus, Amen.
THANKFUL
