Trusting God With What You Cannot Control

There's a difference between giving up and handing over. Giving up walks away. Handing over stays in the room, but stops trying to run everything alone.

Most of what causes us anxiety is some version of trying to control an outcome we were never actually in charge of to begin with. The job, the diagnosis, the relationship, the kid who's making their own choices now.

Surrender isn't passive. It's an act of trust that takes real courage — choosing to believe that the One you're handing it to is more capable, more loving, and more present than your grip on it ever was.
