The fleshly nature of man usually wants to be in control of people and situations. Several of My disciples wanted to be in control of Me. Peter was the main one.
When I warned Peter that he would deny me three times, I told him that I would pray that his faith would not fail. I also said to him, "When you are converted, strengthen your brethren." Peter was converted from pride (his own self interests) when he denied me three times. He finally realized that he was not in control.
When you recognize that I am in control of your life, you will be able to release every burden to Me. It is only when you think that you can fix things yourself, that you make the problems you are having even worse than they are. I know the beginning and the end of your life. Trust Me with every care, and daily surrender to My plans for you.
LUKE 22:31-32
