Once I learned, and am continually reminded to relearn, that I am not in control, life becomes more manageable. I do have choices over some things, but often even when I feel I've made a practical decision, situations zoom into treacherous waters.

Based on a personal experience and Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and by petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
