I had basically just been self-sufficient.

I'm like, well, everything's pretty good.

I got, you know, I'm smart.

I'm gifted.

I can move along in life without anyone to direct me.

And that's why I said independence is overrated

because we were actually created to depend on God.

Paul says in the letters to the Corinthians

that our sufficiency is not of ourselves, but it's of God.

And so right there is where we need to live

because when we start living out of self-sufficiency,

that is a big tell that we have a control problem right there

because we believe that we can do it all, that it's all up to us.

It is time to discover the antidote to the myth of control.

Surrender.

Yes, surrendering to the God who cares for us

and has a better blueprint for our lives.

Today's guest author, Tara Sun, will give you practical steps,

strategies, and biblically rich insight

for letting go of control and moving forward in faith,

even if there's a lot of setbacks and disappointments.

So get ready to ditch the myth of control.
