What You Need to Hand Over to God…
If you want to know what you need to hand over to God, look at what you’re trying to control.
BOB LOTICH
Identify what you’re trying to control, uncover the fears behind it, and bring it all to God.
You might just find that in letting go, you gain more than you ever imagined.
Is there any area in life where you’ve thought, “If I could just get a handle on this, everything would be perfect”?
Maybe it’s your finances, your health, your relationships, or career…
Whatever it is, here’s a thought that might change your perspective on control:
If you want to know what you need to hand over to God, look at what you’re trying to control.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Psalm 55:22 KJV
[22] Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.55.22.KJV
Behind everything we’re trying to control, there’s a fear.
It’s our fear of a world outside our control that lead us to think, believe, and act in ways that are totally opposite of how God wants us to live.
What you need to hand over to God…
And here’s the kicker:
Cycles of fear and control leave us with an arrangement with God instead of a relationship with Him.
And that’s a recipe for pain and burnout that we bring on ourselves.
So, what can we do about it?
Here’s a simple exercise that can be life-changing:
- Identify the areas of your life where you desire the most control.
Ask yourself:
- What do you spend your time thinking about?
- And What do you spend your time planning?
- Also, What do you have the most arguments about?
- And What do you think you “couldn’t live without”?
- Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Take those areas and dig deeper to find the fear behind them.
For example:
“I think a lot about whether our car is going to break down”
→ “I want to control the freedom to go where I want, when I want”
→ “I fear being stranded; unable to have autonomy, to work, or to provide for the family”
- Once you’ve identified the fear, bring it to God in prayer.
Here’s an example:
“Lord, I confess that I am afraid. I want to recognize YOU as provider. And I want to recognize that YOU will never leave or forsake me.
Please, Comforter, comfort me. Silence my fears. Change my heart so I can trust in you more fully, no matter the circumstance.”
This exercise might not uncover every fear and limiting belief you have…
But it’s a good start to uncover obvious areas where you’re seeking control and trace them back to your root fears.
What you need to hand over to God…
Why is this so important? Because…
When you bring your fears to God, it opens the door to the blessing of His joy and peace!
The truth is, the world is NOT out of control –
it’s in the control of a very loving Father who is planning good things for those who love Him!
Imagine a life filled with that kind of peace and trust…
the freedom of releasing your grip and resting in God’s loving hands.
That’s the life God is inviting you into!!
So, I challenge you to take some time to go through this exercise.
Identify what you’re trying to control, uncover the fears behind it, and bring it all to God.
You might just find that in letting go, you gain more than you ever imagined.
