Give God Control
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.—2 Samuel 22:33 (KJV)
It’s easy to fall into the illusion of believing that you can control everything. But the fact is that circumstances arise that are completely beyond your power. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, trust the greatest power in the world. Give the situation and the outcome to God.
Heavenly Father, I surrender my desire to control what is outside of my grasp. Guide me to concentrate on what I can control: my thoughts, my actions and growing my faith to trust You.

You Are Healed
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.—Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
