Are you a man or woman of faith? Do you trust day to day in Jesus Christ, not just for salvation, but to help you live moment by moment with Him?
Then why are so many of us fearful and full of worry? Why do we fear change in our churches? Didn't God say he had new things in store for us, for His church? Behold, I am making all things new - - Revelation 21:5
The only other option to faith, is control. If we are not trusting in the Lord, day to day then we are trying to live life in the flesh. In the flesh everything is subject to me, it's up to me to figure everything out. In the flesh we are driven by what satisfies our appetites. Pride, self-centeredness, selfish ambition, me.
There is today in 2026, a wonderous freedom to be had, when we come to the end of ourselves and we chose to trade control for surrender. Only a person of faith can fully surrender. A person of control and self-interest cannot. Lord Jesus, you know all about me, my failures, weaknesses, my tendency to control, help me please to trade all these sorrows, for your glorious promises. Forgive me for wanting to run the show, it's all yours. I am thankful for forgiveness, and I am thankful that you have more than just forgiveness to offer for the surrendered heart.
