I don't understand why I have such a difficult time giving up control to Him. I really don't.
Because we know with our head that God can handle it better than us, but we don't always believe it in our hearts, and it takes a lot of trust to relinquish control?
I like the compartmentalized way of thinking. "God, you can have this part of my life...that part too, I guess...I'd rather keep this one to myself, since you would probably change it up a lot, and I like it the way it is..." I'm ashamed to say that I do this often, sometimes even consciously.
I'm incapable of doing any good on my own, but He won't just do it for me either.
