Our God has infinite wisdom and power and so I encourage you to let go of your worries and fears and leave the things you can't control to God have you ever tried to control something and realize that you just can't imagine you're in a tiny boat and you're stuck in the middle of a big scary storm you have no power to stop the storm but what if you knew someone who could our lives are often like that we find ourselves in situations we can't control like the storm but sometimes we often forget that we have
a choice it may not appear like you have a choice but you do we can worry and try to fix things ourselves or we can trust in the one who has power over everything even the storm as humans we love to be in charge it makes us feel safe and Powerful however we must understand our limits God made the world and everything in it he is the one in control not us but we can find comfort in knowing we're part of God's grand plan job 26 7 reminds us that God stretches out the north over
the void and hangs the Earth on nothing our God is all-powerful we all know that life can be tricky with surprises around every corner the Bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 that everything in life has its own time this means there are things happening that we just can't control or predict we can't control the weather can we and just like the weather some things in life are beyond our control that's just how it is it's natural to feel like you want to be in control of everything we like to feel safe and secure
and being in control seems to offer that but the truth is we can't control everything no we can't there are things in life that are simply beyond our reach when we try to control everything we only end up tired and stressed this is because we are human and we have limits in the Book of Ecclesiastes it says there is a time for everything sometimes the time comes for us to let go of our need for control and let God take over let go and let God so why should we let God take control God's wisdom
and power are beyond what we can imagine unlike us God isn't limited by time or space Psalm 147 verse 5 says his understanding is Limitless he knows the beginning from the end and everything in between he knows what's best for us even when we can't see it we often face things we don't understand and that's okay we can be sure that God knows what he is doing his ways are higher than ours as we learn in Isaiah 55 verses 8 to 9. for my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways declares
the Lord surrendering doesn't mean we've lost or given up it means we have faith in God when we stop trying to control everything and trust God we show our belief in his great power and wisdom the Bible is filled with people who trusted God during tough times let's look at the story of Jehoshaphat As Told in second chronicles 20. Jehoshaphat the king of Judah was terrified when vast armies came against him but instead of trying to control the situation himself he turned to God he prayed saying we do not know what to do but our
eyes are on you then led by their faith Jehoshaphat and his people went out to meet the armies instead of fighting they sang praises to God and God took control the enemy armies became confused and destroyed each other Jehoshaphat and his people didn't have to fight at all they trusted God and saw his power at work when we trust God we're showing our faith in him let's look at another story the story of King Hezekiah in Second Kings 20. he was very sick so sick that the prophet Isaiah told him he would die but Hezekiah
turned to God In Prayer trusting him even in the face of death and you know what God heard his prayer and added 15 more years to his life just like Hezekiah when we trust God in the face of the uncontrollable we allow his divine plan to unfold in our lives that's when Miracles will start to happen right before our very eyes when we trust God with things we can't control we can feel a peace that's hard to explain a piece that is more than we can understand and even though we may face difficult times God
promises us peace in our hearts Philippians 4 verse 7 says and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus our peace comes from knowing that the God who made the universe the God who set the stars in the sky and knows each one by name is the same God who watches over us he knows our struggles and our worries he sees our tears and he cares about what we're going through Psalms 34 Verse 18 says the Lord is close to the Brokenhearted and saves those who
are crushed in spirit when we let go and trust God we can sleep peacefully even when a world around us is in chaos we can face tomorrow without fear knowing that whatever happens God is with us we can walk through the fire and not be burned and through the waters and not be drowned it's no wonder the songwriter says Because He Lives I Can Face tomorrow because he lives all fear is gone now the peace we get from trusting God doesn't mean there won't be storms it doesn't mean that we won't face difficulties or go
through hard times but it does mean that in the middle of those storms and difficulties we can have a calmness a Stillness a peace that is not of this world because our trust is not in this world but in the God who made it and knowing that he is in control knowing that he will never fail us a peace that's hard to explain but wonderful to experience God's love for us never fails and he is always true to his word the Bible is filled with examples of God's unfailing love and faithfulness remember the story of
the Israelites in the wilderness after they were freed from slavery in Egypt they complained and turned away from God yet God remained faithful he provided manna bread from heaven for them to eat he demonstrated his power and love even when the people were faithless this reminds us that God will not fail us he loves us more than we can know it also means that whatever God promises he does if God says he will do something you can be sure that he will do it it's like if your best friend promises to help you you believe
them because you know they always keep their promises God is like that but even much better whenever he makes a promise in the Bible he always keeps it now when we surrender our worries to God we can do so through prayer this is how we talk to God when we pray we can tell God about all our worries and fears and God because he loves us gives us peace first Peter 5 verse 7 says cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you surrendering our worries To God In Prayer means that we stop
trying to deal with everything by ourselves it means that we trust God to help us we say to God I can't do this by myself I'm giving my worries to you Lord please help me when we do that we stop carrying all that heavy worry by ourselves we share it with God we give it to God and because God is so big and strong he can handle any worry we have and the best part is that God wants to help us with our worries because he loves us so much so prayer is like saying God
I trust you with my worries I need your help and when we do that we often start to feel better it's like a weight being lifted off our shoulders let's also consider the idea of Victory through surrender it may seem strange victory how can we win by giving up but in God's kingdom surrendering is how we gain Victory when we stop trying to control everything and trust God we become Victorious that's how we conquer fear worry and stress let's look at the story of the Israelite city of Jericho in the Book of Joshua the city
walls were too strong to be conquered by force God instructed Joshua and the Israelites to March around the city for seven days and on the seventh day to blow their trumpets and Shout by the world standards this plan made no sense but the Israelites surrendered their understanding and followed God's command when they did the mighty walls of Jericho fell down and the Israelites won a victory that they couldn't have achieved on their own in our lives too there are walls that we can't bring down by our own efforts these might be problems or challenges that
we can't solve no matter how hard we try or it may be a person we can't change or a situation we can't control whenever we find ourselves in such situations we tend to feel stuck helpless or discouraged we may try everything we can think of to fix it but nothing works we are just left feeling more stressed worried and tired it's like trying to open a door that's locked tight but when we surrender these situations to God he can do what we can't imagine God has the key to that locked door when we hand over
our problems to him he unlocks the door now this doesn't mean that everything suddenly becomes perfect but it does mean that we're not alone in facing our problems God is with us working on our problems in ways we can't even imagine once we surrender our situations to God we might not see changes right away God's timing is different from ours but one thing is certain God is working on our behalf his ways are always better than ours and just like a parent who stops their child from touching a hot stove God sees the big picture
and knows what's best for us so in those moments when we feel like we're banging on a locked door remember this god holds the key we only need to hand our problems over to him trust in his perfect timing and Believe In His Infinite Wisdom when we do that we find that God will do what we can from today onwards let's learn to leave the things we can't control to God he will never fail us give it to Jesus remember Jehoshaphat the Manna in the wilderness and the walls of Jericho these stories teach us that
when we surrender to God he takes over and when God takes over miracles happen remember God loves you he cares for you he is wiser and stronger than we can ever be trust him with your worries surrender them to him pray to him and in him you will find Victory and peace now to all those within the sound of my voice let us go to the Lord in prayer I want you to pray this prayer with me so that you can have all the blessings of this prayer let us pray to our gracious and loving
