Got some baggage in your life? You don't have to be controlled by it! Give it to God, trust in Him, let Him be in control; He'll do the rest. It's not easy by any means to give up our baggage--we seem to cling to it so tightly--, but is it worth it to try to handle it by ourselves?
Be honest with God. Don't hide what is going on. He already knows, but He wants you to come to Him and ask for His help. He is just waiting for you to want freedom enough that you're willing to let go and give Him control.
Control. Ahh... we don't want to give that up. When we are not in control, we feel helpless and frail. Well... we are. And we need to stop looking at ourselves like the universe is revolving around us and our plans and realize that we are not capable of doing this on our own. Only through Jesus can we ever find freedom and victory over all the things that so easily get in the way and drag us down.
The invitation is open: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) ESV
When we finally admit, "God, I need You," He smiles and says, "I know, and I'm right here beside you."
