So many times our hearts are wrenched by a problem we have or someone else’s needs or behaviors that we a concerned about. Our situation or theirs has motivated us to think a lot about it and driven us to do all we can to manage the situation. But even with all our efforts and actions, it is still beyond our control to have it change to the place we want it to be.
The best thing we can do at this point is to let it go but that means it is out of control with no hope for a solution. That is why people now say “let go and let God” deal with the situation. If we let go and let God get involved, we then have hope for success from our perspective. It gives us the opportunity to believe that God can go where we can’t and speak to the situation or people involved in a way we can’t.
When we do what we can and give it to God to work on, we can finally have hope, feel that wonderful peace that comes which surpasses understanding in the midst of crisis, and let God determine His solution to this problem in our lives. The bible says “..seek God’s peace and pursue it….” Psalm 34:14.
I know that I personally have trouble dealing with crisis situations in my life when I “give it to God” and then try to pick it back up again to fix it! As soon as I unknowingly take the control back from God I immediately lose that peace that only comes from giving the problem to God! So when crisis hits in my life I constantly evaluate what I can do to help and then focus on finding and maintaining peace in the situation.
