Trading Control for Peace: The First Step Toward Trusting God

There’s a moment in every believer’s journey when we realize that our need to control is actually costing us peace. We may know God’s promises, but when fear creeps in, we often default to striving, planning, and managing outcomes ourselves. The result? Anxiety, exhaustion, and a counterfeit sense of peace that never lasts.

In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, we’re reminded that trust is not just a spiritual concept—it’s a daily decision. It’s the choice to roll our works onto the Lord, as Proverbs 16:3 says, and allow Him to establish our plans. But that kind of trust requires us to let go of control.

The podcast Choices brings this truth to life. Through relatable stories—like choosing between a second dessert or fries, or doing something that goes against our values—we see how our decisions often reveal a disconnect between our heads and our hearts. We may know what’s right, but fear or desire can drive us to choose control over trust.

But here’s the good news: God doesn’t just want our obedience—He wants our hearts. He wants us to trust Him with our provision, our relationships, our future. And when we do, He promises to never leave us helpless (Hebrews 13:5–6). That’s not just a comforting thought—it’s a foundation for peace.

Trusting God means believing that He is who He says He is: our Provider, our Helper, our Father. It means choosing to believe that His plan is better than ours, even when we can’t see the next step. And it means surrendering our need to control in exchange for the peace that only He can give.

🎧 If you’re tired of carrying the weight of control, take time now to listen to Choices. Let it guide you into a deeper trust in God and the freedom that comes from surrender.
