An Answer to Anxiety

I went to an awesome conference this past weekend with some neighbor gals in San Diego. We had the honor of hearing Beth Moore speak. She is so great, so real and funny and brilliant. I learned so many good things, but one little nugget if wisdom is really sticking with me...
The anxiety we experience is caused by our trying to control a situation that is entirely out of our control. We try to play "Jr God" and control situations, people, etc.
For instance, I get anxious about flying somewhere without my kids. I get all nervous and worried that something might happen to me while I am on the plane. My heart rate goes up, I get stressed and uptight, etc. Does the anxiousness do anything, solve anything, make anything better or safer or less dangerous? No. I get all worked up about something that I have no control over. Who is in control? God. If we can learn to surrender, give up that "feeling" that we can control things, and just have faith that God has got it all covered, how peaceful and freeing that would be.
