The things we find to be too hard to face are actually what we need to face in order to overcome those fears. Everything that I’ve been running from has only made me isolated and far from being healed. I’ve been on an incredible journey with God and his peace is a powerful force that exists. He gives peace that the world cannot give ( John 14:27). Even when I think I’ve surrendered all, I haven’t. I hold on close to what I don’t want to let go to God because of control. Not letting go just puts pressure on us. We think that we need to be in charge of what only God can handle.

At this point in life, I can say I’m tired of running. I’m tired of pushing everything and anything away and keeping myself from living of full life because of the lies and tricks of the enemy. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) and if he can’t steal your blessings or kill you, he’ll destroy you from living freely in surrender and obedience to God.Who wants to live their life in fear or be afraid to embrace the people sent into their life? Who wants to keep hiding and being in isolation due to their own choice? We’re not meant to isolate. We’re not meant to do life alone. It is not possible to live out a full life without others involved.

So look at where you are in life right now and choose to thank God for He has you where he wants you. Grasp every opportunity to live to the fullest. It’s not easy but it’s hard if you don’t let go.

Let go and release the control into God’s hands.
