Control for me looks like a paralyzing fear of letting people down. I am needing to surrender the curse of people-pleasing and trust my worth to Jesus, entirely. Grateful for your prayers in that area. ❤
Natalie, I'm so proud of you for taking the first step by recognizing and sharing it! I find it helps to turn a concern into a prayer, doesn't have to be fancy. Surrendering can be difficult if you have been the one there for everyone and did things for them 'because you knew you could.' Also, if you know the root of why this is happening, even better. As an empath, I understand and had to overcome this way of thinking and it's o.k.❤️
"Lord, today I surrender to you the paralyzing fear of letting people down. I know that I have no control over how they respond, what they may think and that is what is scary to me. I know you love me unconditionally and that is what matters most. So today, I release the curse of people-pleasing in total surrender to you. For you Lord, have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!" Amen
God divinely appointed the timing of your writing. Once again, I feel totally blessed and grateful for your beautiful and needed writing. Thank you, Tina!
Sweet Natalie, thank you for your kind words. Praise God this site is blessing you in this season of your life. I thank God for my personal journey and using me to share that with you. There is nothing that he gives us that is ours alone. We just steward differently based on the season we are in. I thank you for subscribing and hope to continue to see you in the community🙏
I love this! I think surrender is one of the most beautiful lessons we can learn and experiences we can have. I’m more and more convinced that our suffering lies in resistance and control. Beautifully written!
Marissa, thank you so much for your kind words and visiting this newsletter. I agree the suffering does lie in the resistance and control and why it's such a gift when we can surrender all to the Lord and let him work through us and in us.
