In a discussion the other morning with my coworkers, the idea of micromanagement surfaced. No one really likes a micromanager. And the question arose whether maybe in our unwillingness to surrender certain areas of our life to God we do in fact try to micromanage God. Now I realize this isn't a perfect analogy (as really any analogy of our God or our relationship with Him in going to be inherantly flawed), but let's just think on it a minute longer.
I tell God here, take my life. But then I keep bugging him about how He's getting His work done. Looking over His shoulder, pointing out where I think He could go, suggesting ideas I really think He should take from me. You get the picture.
Father, May I trust You with my life. My I surrender each day those things to which I hold most dear. May I continually remember that You want the best for me even more than I do.
