Relinquishing

Lately there have been an unusual number of big issues going on in my life. Things I might be inclined to worry about. Things I could obsess about.

But it occurred to me that I could simply choose not to go that route.

I could "hand it all over." I could turn it loose. I could let it go. I could just simply choose to let God handle these situations. I could leave it in His hands.

What a relief.

And how logical.

After all, I can't really make things happen. I am not in control of things, other than my own reactions to circumstances.

God, on the other hand, is powerful and able to make things happen.

So . . . I'm in the business of handing things over these days.
