According to google, Control is the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.

Manipulating energy for things that you think you want is rooted in the need for control. Which is based in fear. God doesn’t give us the spirit of fear. You can’t have faith and fear at the same time. As the Bible says, without faith, there is no pleasing God. Instead of submitting and letting go of that fear, we cling and fight to hold on to any sense of being in control that we have. We will fight tooth and nail for that perception of control.
