Why Do we Try To Control?

Your happiness is not determined by the outcome you are trying to control.

We can't really control, but we try. We think it keeps us safe and that is where our happiness lies, but we are only safe in God. Only by letting go of control, by being vulnerable, can we come to know our power in Him.

Most people try to control because they have a story which they are trying to keep intact. Often they were abused in some way, especially as a child, and this keeps them from allowing that to happen again. But that is a fearful way of living life, a non joyous way.

What we need to do is go to the source of our beliefs and fears and heal what needs healing, releasing it forever and live the abundant life God has for us.
