Wow, what a powerful statement…and so true! I think our wanting to stay in control is probably the biggest detriment to our faith. It is the letting go part that is so hard to do, at least for me. So thankful for this sweet reminder, Lisa. God bless you. 🙂

Yes, letting go is the hardest part for me, too. I’m a control freak! God bless you, too, Cheryl.
Such a beautiful quote. I did the “One Word” challenge last year, choosing ‘faith’ as my one word to focus on throughout 2013. With the newborn twins, unemployment/re-employment, and the financial struggles of keeping twins in daycare, faith was the only thing that got me through last year. It’s true, when you put God in control, the problem is His (and fortunately for me it all worked out well).

Absolutely. Faith is the glue that keeps it all together.
My husband and I are knee deep in writing a bible study for the book The Life of Radical Faith. The more I study, the more my faith has grown. I’ve learned just how important our faith is and what great mountains it can move. I love that God directed me here to read this quote. ~Pamela
Yes!! Amen!!
So true! The further my faith grows and the more I trust in His promises and believe, the less I feel the need for control.
