Have you been there? The struggle feels never-ending, and the hits just keep coming. Spiritual life seems so far away.
You're addicted to control, because things will only spiral worse if you let it go. You have to fix it all yourself, even if you're a Christian.
Jake thought he could fix everything—his marriage, his parenting issues, his health. He believed he had the power to make it all work. But even as Jesus was trying to lead him elsewhere, Jake wouldn’t let go. He was addicted.
Control was his thing. As a police officer, husband, and father, he believed everything would go as planned because he was in charge. But everything fell apart—his marriage couldn’t be fixed, his body showed signs that something was wrong, and his mistakes with his children became undeniable.
In the end, Jake had no choice but to admit his failures and turn to God for help.
If you’ve ever been where Jake or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
