Chorus:
In Your hands, Lord we place today tomorrow
In Your hands, Lord we surrender all.
In Your hands I commit my joys, my sorrows;
In Your hands, Lord, I surrender all.
By Rev. Allan F. Kirton
The chorus is part of a hymn “In your hands”. I was singing in church on Sunday and I got goosebumps. It’s not as if I was hearing and singing the song for the first time. It was just surreal. It was as if I was hearing, I mean really hearing the words for the first time. I don’t know if you have ever had one of those moments. It’s as if what ever you are thinking about seem to amplify. I think it’s related to my recent focus of walking in faith. It’s the concept of handing over to God and surrendering all. It’s not the easiest thing to do especially when you have to be in charge. Letting go and letting God is not easy at all. You have to a lot of faith to ensure that it is possible. As we know faith can move mountains. Trust me it can I have many stories and I know persons that have stories that show how faith makes that difference. As someone told me last week after they read my blog. Faith creates confidence. I do believe she is right. Persons that have the faith seems to have that confidence which shows that as being able to take on the world. Faith seems to push you to believe you can do whatever you want to.
I learnt to let go and let God a couple years ago but sometimes you have to reiterate that knowledge. If not you slip back into thinking you are the one in charge. We have to understand that we are not in full control. That is a fact.
I remember getting upset recently and it dawned on me that I had no control over the situation and therefore there was nothing I could do. Which this in mind I had to step back and let go. I instantly printed a copy of the serenity pray and put it on the wall beside me. Every time I feel things moving away from me I look to my left and read. It makes such a difference. It’s a reminder that allows me to breath and take it easy. I feel lighter when I do that. It’s basically meditation during my day for short periods of time. It helps trust me.
Letting go and letting God is what I have to do and knowing what I can and cannot control. When we look at what we can and cannot control we have to be realistic. What can we do or not do in different situations. Until we admit that we don’t always have that control because it’s not always feasible life will be difficult. Or maybe that’s just my way of thinking. What do you think?

Sometimes we really forget who is in charge and that is GOD. I do have to remind myself as well , because we have no control of our daily lives. We have to walk in faith, when you are in charge sometimes you forget who is the bigger boss up above. Seeing the written words of that song is just real. We really should genuinely place all of our cares in God’s hands. He will direct our path,let’s keep encouraging each other. This topic hit the spot!
Yes, we sometimes forget. Letting go and letting God is not as easy as we think. However it’s a must. 🙏🏽
You are so correct. Put God first no matter what, but sometimes when we think that things seems to be going our way it’s easy to forget him. We have to always keep reminding ourselves that he is in control.
Sometimes it’s so hard to recognize that we need help and that we should give up control when things are really out of our control.
Just let go and let God. 🙏🏽
Yes. It’s what I try to live by… Let go and let God. He’s the Potter, I’m the clay ✝️
It’s not the easiest thing to do but we have to try.
Let him do the modeling
