The Confession from Beth Moore's Children of the Day Study

The Confession

by Beth Moore


I am not in control.

I cannot control all my people.

I cannot control our situation.

Even when I want what is best,
I cannot control the outcome.

I cannot make people behave.

I cannot make people believe.

I cannot make people be strong.


BECAUSE I AM NOT GOD!!!


He alone knows the end from the beginning.

He alone knows how this thing will turn out.

I HEREBY FIRE MYSELF from His job.

And I agree to see my fight for control as what it really is:
a screaming testament to my distrust,
because I'm saying to God,
'You are not controlling this.'
