I Am Relinquishing Control

I am relinquishing control over the uncontrollable.

When I am in one of life’s low valleys, I am comforted by positive thoughts.  I am human and I am not expected to have all the answers. That loving piece of reality brings me such comfort that I can smile in the midst of shadows.

I am not in control of everything because there are things beyond my control.  And that’s okay.  I am responsible for those things that I can manage, but I am quick to let go of the things that I cannot influence. In order to save myself from anxiety, I do not hold on to things that I cannot control.

I try my hardest with what I can control.  I set fair expectations for myself.  I am diligent.  I am hardworking, yet I can admit my limitations.

When I identify things in my life that are uncontrollable, I let go of them quickly.  I do not waste time trying to handle things that are impossibly out of my reach.  I am happy to relinquish control because my ego and pride are in check.

When I have to acknowledge my lack of control, I do not feel guilt.  By letting go of control, I make room for miracles.

In situations where I am unsure of what to do, I seek help.  If I see that there is nothing else I can do, I pray, then I simply let go.

I relinquish control of all situations to a Higher Power.  Where my strength ends, there is a greater strength that carries me forward.  When my abilities run thin, there is the power of miracles.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    What are some things that I need to give up?
2.    How can I free myself from undue pressures?
3.    Why should I burden myself with things that I cannot control?
