I didn’t realize how much control had a hold on me… until I was put in a space where I couldn’t control anything.

I’m still in 1 Samuel 2:36, and now I see it clearly.

What once had authority over me is showing up asking to be let back in.

And I’m having to say no.

My mind gets it… but my nervous system doesn’t trust it yet.

I’m learning how to feel safe without controlling everything—and it’s uncomfortable.

But one thing I know now:

Control didn’t make me safe.
