Control

Control is a funny word. People think they want it, but they don't know what they're asking. They are like a passenger on a ship or airplane who has no experience in sea or air travel but stands up and says, "I'd like to take the helm!" or "Let me be the pilot!" They think that in their finite understanding and wisdom, they'll be able to navigate the ship or plane better than the experts. How foolish and silly! 

Here is my advice to you: Sit down. Put your feet up. Relax. Be happy you are not in control, for the responsibility is not on you to get yourself to your destination. Be relieved that the Captain of the ship / the Pilot of the plane has your best interest in mind. He is reliable, proven, and most especially - kind, for He is not just your Captain and Pilot, He is also your Father and Friend.
