Chasing the stars, wanting to be in control at home, at work and out in the world may be one of the few dreams people harbor in their minds. But the jigsaw pieces may not fit into the slot to form the real picture, at least for you.
When you run into a difficult spot or face troubles, dead ends or hit rock bottom, you suddenly lose balance, get out of gear and go frustratingly helpless. You are caught in a snare – the more you try to untangle yourself, the more knotted it becomes. Futile attempts to undo the wrong seems hopeless.
What happens? What can be done?
Understand first that you are never truly in control – it is illusory. Once you acknowledge and choose to let go, you’ll feel at Peace with Everything around you.
Those moments of helplessness that you felt are actually rich with potential. Sometimes when you’re at your most desperate, you shine the brightest because in these moments you’ve arrived at a point of surrender. This occurs when you realize that whatever you’re up against is too big to face alone.
Enlightenment follows once you release this sense of control and you thus allow the Higher Power to manage and micro-manage your life.
Stay blessed; Peace on you.
Isaiah 26:3 of the Bible tells us:
You keep him in perfect Peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
Perfect Peace is the blessing we are given when we surrender all our troubles to Him. We are forever feeling burdened and heavy only because we insist on controlling our lives, like the ‘control freaks’. Our lives are meant to be lived here on earth in Happiness and fulfilling Joy. But all these elude us as we are too busy focusing on winning the rat race. Our worlds shrink in size and we are drawn into the whirlpool of the vicious circle.
We need to keep in mind that God’s peace is not always the removal of troubles in our lives but it is His presence that gives us a freedom on the inside of our soul. Thus even in the midst of sorrow, sickness, and sadness, we can have peace.
We should always “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust Him to solve all your worries and anxieties. Let go of all the burdens of the mind. Be freed of all the binding chains of heaviness and weariness.
1 Peter 5:7 says ‘Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you’.
Prayer:
To all those beautiful souls who want the comfort from the Lord amidst all their woes and worries: may you experience God’s perfect peace as you keep your mind fixed on Him and place your trust in Him.
Dear Lord, Thank You for calming all the anxiety in me, off the troubled spots in my Life. At times I reach the end of the road and stand uncertain. But You have been constant in Your Love and have brought me back to track. May all the knots that have bound me, be set free. May Love and Peace prevail in me and all around me. In Your name. Amen.
