THINGS YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO CARRY - PT. 2

THE NEED TO CONTROL EVERYTHING “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” —Proverbs 3:5–6 This week, we are looking at “Things God Never Meant for Us to Carry.” Yesterday, we talked about the weight of tomorrow. Today, I want to talk about another burden that can leave us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted—the need to control everything. Most of us like to know what is happening. We want to understand the plan, know where the road is leading, and feel certain that everything will turn out the way we believe it should. There is nothing wrong with wanting direction. But sometimes, our desire for direction slowly becomes a need for control.
