I need to let go
of the need
for control
When I think I have everything handled
When I think I’ve got it all figured out
When I think I know the answers
I don’t.
I need to let go
of the need
for certainty
When I think I found the right path
When I think I am ready to charge ahead
When I think I see a perfect vision and purpose
I don’t.
Because certainty is an illusion
And looking for it
leads me into
hesitation
fear
paralysis
Yet if I let God
do Her thing
If I let go of the need
for control
for certainty
Then all that I need
the desire
the power
the energy
the faith
All will be given to me
Just when I need it
Just how I need it
completely and beautifully
out of my control
Power and desire. Love that.

Yes, well said! Trying to control everything just wastes time and causes a lot of unnecessary stress. And today’s feelings of certainty are likely to end up as tomorrow’s change of mind.
