- The thing you try to control the most will reveal where you trust God the least.
- The need to control can be connected to past trauma, an event where you felt out of control.
- Lack of trust can stem from someone breaking trust when you should have been able to trust them. This leads to future fears which leads to control.
- Control places unnecessary burdens on those around you.
- There is no freedom or peace in the midst of control.
- The solution to remove control is to surrender and trust. (God)
- If we can trust God with our salvation, then we should be able to trust Him in our daily living.
