Are you the Head or the Tail? Regaining control with the help of God.

Are you really, the head or tail? 

Are you in control?

Nowadays.... yes, nowadays, we have, most of us, so many options, and we can feel like we're in control of some things, and yet, these options are just parameters, such as on the smartphone, a set of parameters that alter how others control what's inputted into you, before you're eyes and ears, into your mind.

So many choices, and yet, it seems the most important things are dictates, are sort of preset, be it by law or social/peer pressure.  Pressure to conform to a group, to do what is expected.

So maybe we have control minute-by-minute, but overall?

Have we went to God about this?

Do we dare put this in God's hands?  Do we ask His will?  Do we petition him, do we pray to Him for success in the things we need or want?

Meanwhile, the illusion is sustained online, of free choice, when so much data is collected across platforms, just to tailor advertising to our preferences.  We could go to a particular website, then go to social media, and that first website is advertised in our social media.

We can talk to our leaders, our parents, our pastors, our teachers and others.  And it seems like they always expect something, want something, that there's always some standard to live up to.

Always some kind of pressure to do something or be something.

But not with God, not pressure to conform from God, because God loves us as we are.

We look to the addict, we look to those imprisoned, and so many others; it seems they are being lead around by the whims of something else, some other influence.  But this is vapid; the truth is more simple.

We are in control of ourselves.

We have unrestrained free choice, be it for good or ill.

God or Satan?  Joy or worry?  Peace or usury?

The addict could have moments, wasted-away time in which he or she wishes she could change, and the thought is depressing as the go again to their addiction.  But comes that flat joy, one day, when they're ready, in every part, to end the addiction, to end the bad habit, and free themselves.

When they're ready.

The Alcoholics Anonymous program recommends believing in God as part of its famous steps to sobriety.  There's something in it, trusting in something more, something beyond the day-to-day, that help men and women to do the toughest things.

We can trust in God to oversee, as we do these things, no matter how tough a task, now matter how big a mountain before us.
