It's OK to Give Up Control - Psalm 23 She Lives Purposefully

Ever find yourself anxious when things are all out of control? when you don’t know what will happen next? when it feels like your entire world just fell apart? or when it seems like there’s no answers for how to move forward? ⁠⁠⁠

I realized recently that I struggle with trust & releasing control to Jesus .⁠

& honestly, psalm 23 is THE chapter of the Bible that is helping me conquer that. ⁠

I think we can really believe that we can trust and accept the idea that we can release control and that it’s OK to and even BETTER to, when we know the One we are trusting and giving control to. ⁠

⁠He shows us that He is good, He is loving, He cares and He is capable.⁠

In Psalm 23, we begin to see our role as the sheep and Him as the Shepherd and realize we CAN give Him control. ⁠⁠

It also is a relief because I think at least for me in all my attempt to control, I’ve realized I have no control. 

But when I give Him control I can trust that whatever happens, He's in control. ⁠

& He’s proven himself more than trustworthy to take it – life, struggles, control – off of our hands. ⁠
