Control
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
WOW…. How many times do we pray- plead - ask of God - throw it all at His capable feet and then let it go? Walk away? It clearly states here that if we ask according to His will, He hears us! That we should know that we will have what we have asked of Him! “Will have,” doesn’t mean today. It means that we can trust Him that “He works all things for our good” Romans 8:28 NIV. That “He is faithful” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV. So why is it SO hard to walk away after we pray for something or someone? Simple… control.
We as humans always like a little control over our lives. Our lack of faith in God, results in doubt, and the enemy loves anything that takes our eyes off God. He will weasel his way into that crack and soon it is a canyon, and we have trouble finding our way back.
2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 NIV says: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Keeping our eyes on Jesus defeats the enemy! He has no choice but to leave and go find some other cracks to break open! He is working out everything that concerns you! Do not let the need for control in your life disrupt God’s best for your life.

About the Author
Tami S. Wyatt is a wife, mother, and Mimi. Her passion has become to live boldly, sharing her faith, and telling others about God. Within her life story are countless examples of God’s faithfulness and provision. At the early age of 12, she was paralyzed from the chest down, having to learn how to walk and write all over. Then at the age of 35 she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, then at age 39 Sjogrens Syndrome. Having to endure multiple surgeries she lives with chronic nerve and muscle pain as well as physical and social limitations.
She believes wholeheartedly in the mercy and grace that God gives daily and without the strength that He provides, she would not make it through each day.
“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake I delight in weaknesses, in insults, and hardship, in persecutions, and difficulties. For when I am weak then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV
“The Lord will fight for you, you only need be still.”
Exodus 14:14 NIV
This was a very important verse when going through the sudden loss of her brother who was only 46 at the time.
“With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 NIV
A few years ago, in a devotional book she was reading, the author challenged the reader to get a blank 4x6 card and write the verse on it. This was to be a reminder that with God, all things are possible. She accepted the challenge and then started writing prayer requests, concerns, and joys on the card. It has grown to multiple layers of cards now, stapled together.
