7 Bible Verses For When You Feel Like You're Not In Control Of Your Life
Control. It's the one thing we wish we had but many times don't. Practically every waking moment of our lives we will be surrounded by things we can't control- the economy, the weather, circumstances, the opinion of others and sometimes even our own destinies.
When we lose control of certain things or realize just how little control we have, it's easy to start doubting and worrying. But is that the way God would have us respond? It doesn't always occur to us but it was God who wired us to have little to no control over certain things. Maybe it's because He wants to teach us an important lesson about faith in the midst of little to no control.
When we are not in control, one thing is for certain. God is always in control. The Bible teaches us through various scriptures how there is nothing beyond the control and will of God here on earth. He controls leadership even when they aren't submitted to Him. He controls the waves, storms and seas. He controls our resources. God is in control.
