I am having great difficulty turning the reigns of my life over to God completely. It seems like it would be so easy to do. After all God is everything good, great, beautiful, loving and perfect. God only wants the absolute best for us as He loves us so much. Then why do I still want to be the one that guides the ship of my life?

The facts are that when I lived my life my way I was a complete mess. I was full of greed, anger, lust, perversion and was a great advocate for Satan. Yet through my relationship with Christ I have found faith, love, peace and hope. This should be a no brainer. I should be asking God to steer my life at every turn. So then why when I have witnessed how wonderful life is when I submit to Christ, am I still struggling with control?

I would say the majority of the time I am having God take the lead. It's just when things are not moving fast enough in the direction I desire that I take the reigns back. What I do know is when I do this it never turns out in a way that is good or pleasing to my Father.

Life is actually going great for me and I need to focus on the blessings more and my desires less. I need to allow myself to submit fully to Christ at every turn and be obedient full time. He will guide me where I am suppose to be and I know it will be my predestined fate and no matter the outcome, God will deliver me to victory. Yet, why in the world is this such a tough lesson to learn?

I truly don't know the answers but I do trust through faith that Jesus knows. I do know that He has given me a very simple task in the season I am in right now. My only assignment right now from God is to walk the walk with Him, submit all and be obedient in everything I do.

Please pray for me to conquer this difficult lesson I am trying to overcome. Please pray for me to always submit to the will of God and to let Him steer my life. Please pray for me to be the obedient child of the King that I am suppose to be. Please pray for me to walk with Christ in every step I take.
