Sometimes I have re occurring dreams where I feel totally out of control.
For example - I am in high school and need to go to my locker but I can never find it. I am just searching for it my whole dream. Or I find the locker but I can't remember the locker combination so I go to the office to ask what it is but I can never find the office. I am sure I am not the only one who has dreams like this. I don't like them because I always feel like I must be feeling out of control in life when I dream like that.
So in prayer after a night of those dreams, the Lord spoke this to me:
Why does it bother you so much to feel out of control?
You are never really in control any way - I AM
I am the Creator of this Universe.
I created but did not leave you after that.
I am active and aware of everything that goes on in this world
Just because you see evil reign.
Just because you don't see prayers answered, Just because you see heartache, Does not mean that I am not in control.
I will allow things to seemingly spin out of control so you may see that only I reign
You do not make the winds blow,
form a child in the womb, hold the oceans in their place, keep the stars suspended above, cause the sun to rise or the earth to move.
And you do not manipulate the circumstances of your life, I do.
That really is a good thing,
You don't want to be in control,
You don't really even understand what that means – to run your world, or your life.
So give up any semblance of control
Hold your hands up to Me and give up the desire, to run your life It is not a need.
Now dance in the freedom it provides to know that you don't have to run your world.
You are not responsible to change you – I AM.
You don't have to change others – you can't,
Only I can, so let it go.
You don't have to fix all the problems you see, I will.
You just need to step in where I tell you.
Like a dance partner – follow My lead and it is beautiful.
If you try to lead when I am you step on My toes and the whole dance looks awkward, You could trip up and fall.
So lean into My strong arms and let Me lead.
I will not give the lead up no matter how often you struggle with it.
Your only choice is to let Me lead or to trip over Me as you try to lead.
I will lead you places you never thought possible and they will feel like a dream come true.
