And and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds, in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 NIV Bible
It wasn't very long ago that I was praying about a situation. In my prayer I asked for God's peace that passes all understanding, so I put my concerns into His very capable hands, instead of my playing God.
It wasn't until that time, that I realized that I go through the motions of trying to play God, without even realizing it! I was asking God to have "this and that" happen in a specific way I desired.
Who did I think I was kidding? God knows what is best in every situation. I was trying to control the situation and asking Him to only have the outcome I desired. I really had my eyes opened up! The thing I'm concerned about, is that I will become complacent and forget this insight the Lord gave me related to my interactions with Him! I pray He never tires of reminding me, and bringing me back into focus again the same way He reminds me when I start returning to food for comfort, rather than turning to my Lord and Savior in matters of stress, etc.
