letting go

I have been on an amazing journey since the Lord has guided me to truths. I understand that I will face trials and tribulations and judgements for everything I do. The one thing I have a hard time with is just giving it up. What I mean is I am a control freak...this is the beast I want to defeat. It is like..."how can I let Jesus manifest himself in me if I don't turn to him and stop trying to control everything! " I know that I cant purge the carnal mind out of me. I know God can. I struggle with this so much because every situation that comes about,  I have the tendency to take control especially in ones that I know I have no control over. Ray has talked about the " beast within" . Now I don't know if I totally understand it all,  but it seems they the little.me is sitting on my throne and mocking me and it doesn't want to back down. Ugh....I need some etification from another true believe that is maybe going through what I am. If I explained it enough to understand.   :-X

It sounds to me like your struggling with the flesh like Paul. I know i for one can relate to this;

Rom 7:14  For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15  For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Rom 7:17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my me

It may not be helpful , but its a definite struggle :)

After Katrina hit us we lost everything, all we had was the clothes on our backs some in suitcases our trucks and our dogs and one computer. Thank God for bringing that computer with us it was our only communication to the outside. Due to the cell towers down we could not call anyone that lived where we did. when we came back in town our house had a oak tree through the roof and destroyed the house flood waters 10ft.high. so we lost everything we left behind. That's the moment i realized i was not in control of anything. This was a hard lesson. The with being homeless all i could to was cup my hands like a v shape and I lifted them to God and said("Lord I give this cup to You I need Your help I can not do this Please Lord help me and my family with roof over our heads please protect us and gives us shelter. With no savings or money in hand i don't know how You Lord will do this but I truly believe You will. Bam the next day I heard about fema trailers through a friend and went down signed up got one days later. Also The Lord blessed me and mind with food (m.r.e.s.) water and ice plus basic things one would not think are important until one no longer has or can get. IE T.P., soap, cleaning supplies and such. sorry for the long story. but since then I do know when you let go and let God He might not give you what you want but The Lord will give you what you need. Thanks for letting me share my story (Hard to believe but this was the short version.
