This is what I do: I don’t look back, I lengthen my stride, and I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God’s heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Today I read those words and think it to be an invitation to pray and cast/unload all of my cares on him. When I do, I often experience a sense of healing.
What do you think it means Mike?
"Trusting for me has been a journey of letting go. On a Caribbean cruise over the Christmas holidays in 2002, with my wife laying on our bed in our stateroom paralyzed from the waist down, I heard God whisper to me about letting go of control of my life and allowing myself to simply flow with wherever life takes me. It has been so hard yet so necessary for me. Trusting is really never trusting when we are in control."
In some ways coming to Jesus is releasing control of our lives and the outcomes of our prayers. I am getting better at it but have a long ways to go. ツ
