“Control seems preferable to what we typically think of as its opposite--chaos. But I want to suggest that the opposite of control is not chaos. It is trust, and trust is far preferable to control. We want to control because we fear the outcome of letting God be in control. We fear we won't be taken care of, won't have what we need, or will be taken advantage of. But trying to be in control is futile, because in reality there is very little that we can control.” TrustChaosControlTrusting GodTrusting Book:Messed Up Men of the Bible Source: Messed Up Men of the Bible
“Here is what I know to be true: messed up men will often panic and try to control the chaos. Waiting is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines. Waiting is spelled T-R-U-S-T.” WaitingTrustChaosControlPanicTrusting GodWaiting On God Book:Messed Up Men of the Bible Source: Messed Up Men of the Bible
