Letting go...

There are many causes for mental stress. One of them is our choice not to give up on those matters which we have no control. Mental health experts state that one of the main reason for stress is when people fail to have the ability to take control. We need to understand that there are always two aspects in life:- things which we can take control and things which we cannot. Things which we can take control are what we call 'responsibility'. Things which we cannot take control are those that are 'uncertain'.

When we try to take control of uncertain events, situations, expectations or even people in life, that is when we loose our cool and become overly stressed. Instead of struggling inwardly by trying to take control of uncertain things or tomorrow , it is better that we give it up into the Lord's hand and accept the outcome believing that to be God's will. This way we will be more at peace than unnecessary mental stress...

Psalm 46:10 (New American Standard Bible)

Cease striving and know that I am God...

When we cease from trying to take control of things or people and live with the realization that God is in control, rest assured we can live our days with peace.
