when life feels out of control

Just ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.

Thank you God, that life is not out of control. No matter how chaotic and messy … no matter how painful, you are still in control.

There is order in the universe. And you, God, are the creator, the director, the sustainer.

When I watch the news and feel sad …

When I am completely overwhelmed by unfinished work …

When relationships seem to be spinning in the wrong direction …

help me to rest in knowing you are still in control.

There is nothing going on anywhere in all of life that is spinning outside your sovereignty. Nothing that is outside your grasp. Nothing that rattles or worries you.

You got this, God. All of it.

I’ll look up in the sky to remember.
