We try to micromanage every detail of our lives, our futures, and the people around us. But control is an illusion, and the harder we grip it, the more we suffer. The real power lies in surrendering what we cannot control and trusting what we can’t see.

But God…

Look at the story of David and Goliath. On the surface, it’s about a young shepherd boy facing a giant, armed with nothing but a sling and stones. What most miss is that David wasn’t fighting the battle alone—or even primarily with his own strength.

In 1 Samuel 17:47, David says, “The battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” David knew he wasn’t in control of the outcome. He understood that the fight belonged to God.

This is a lesson we need burned into our bones: sometimes, the battles you’re exhausted over, the anxiety that wakes you at night—they are not yours to fight. God has already taken the reins. Our role is to surrender, recalibrate, and hold fast to faith.

The K.I.S.S. ~ But God!

Consider Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

When we stop battling against the current and start trusting the One who is steering the ship, we can rest in the truth that every situation is under divine orchestration—even when it looks like chaos. Every chord, major or minor, belongs to Him.

Why waste your energy on fights that drain your spirit and weigh you down? Why try to carry burdens God never intended you to bear?

The wisdom isn’t in conquering every problem by your own might but in recognizing which battles to let go of and which to stand firm in with God beside you.

Your invisible battles don’t happen alone. God sees. God fights. And God wins.

So next time you’re caught in that silent war, remember the power of those two words that change everything: “But God…” Surrender the fight that isn’t yours to claim and watch what happens when you let Him take over.

You don’t have to control it all. You just need to trust and have faith in the One who does.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
