God Is In Charge Of Soul Control (Jeremiah 10:23; Luke 12:19 20) (Repent)
What prayers do you pray to help you surrender control? You will hear the verse of one of these prayers from a hymn in today’s podcast. Sonja and I use a simple prayer that begins our devotions many mornings that was created by a teacher who has blessed us, Father Mark Link. “Father, you created me and put me on earth for a purpose. Jesus, you died for me and called me to complete your work. Holy Spirit, you help me to carry out the work for which I was created and called. In your presence and name— Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I begin my meditation. May all my thoughts and inspirations have their origin in you and be directed to your glory.” Each of us needs to find a way to express our freedom from our control obsessions. The “Serenity Prayer” pictured above has been used thousands of times by people everywhere but especially for those in recovery. It was created by a theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr. The longer version has a powerful impact for us as well. “Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.”
