Escape from control.
Everyone on social media has these great one great liners over an amazing picture of a person standing on top of the Alps. My husband walked into the kitchen in his fancy yard attire. (Old shorts and a beater T-Shirt.) ”I have my own one liner!” he said. Not to say he is a man without deep thoughts- but I braced myself for a corny joke. Then he said, (music stills) “Worry is a manifestation of our need for control.” I Love it! Because he’s talking about himself, just easier than saying, “Worry is my manifestation of my need to be in control.” That’s a “good word” I said, wide-eyed. He’s been asking Jesus about this deep need to be in control. It’s driven his life all these years- but it doesn’t work in his spiritual life. It kinda competes with these other lovely things called TRUST and REST.

"Worry is a manifestation of our need for control."
Get your journal out:
How do you escape the grip of control and worry?
What would be your one-liner today?
Escape with the FRR formula for peace.
So you know how you’re going along just fine until you hear bad news or someone you care about has something serious going on. One minute you were up, the next minute you are carrying your/their fear or worry, and you feel your spirit slumping thought out the day. That’s when it’s time for the FRR formula. Usually I sell it for $19.99 but today and today only- it’s absolutely free. (Yes-I’m joking)
F is for FEAR (remember that the mercy and empathy that you carry is a gift from God ) But your still worried.
R is for RELEASE (no need to wait) Jesus is available right now to take anything you are willing to release to Him. Pray, write it out… visualize the hand off.
R is for RECEIVE Now you can receive was is meant for you. Thank the Lord for His peace and His Hope and the Faith (what else?) that He has given you for that spirit of heaviness.
