“Our need to be in charge of
ourselves, others and situations often makes our relationship with Christ
life’s biggest power struggle. We are reluctant to relinquish our control and
allow him to run our lives. We may believe in him and be active in the church
and Christian causes, but trusting him as Lord of everything in life can be
scary. Even though we pray about our challenges and problems, all too often
what we really want is strength to accomplish what we’ve already decided is
best for ourselves and others. Meanwhile, we press on with our own priorities
and plans. We remain the scriptwriter, casting director, choreographer, and
producer of the drama of our own lives, in which we are the star performer.” - -Twelve
