Control has the power to exhaust us like nothing else because it assumes upon our shoulders the burden that only God can handle. When we choose to trust God and give up our way of doing things, we find rest, relief, and progress.

Discussion Questions:

1. Do you think you’re a control freak? Do other people think you’re a control freak? Why or why not?

2. Do you find that particular situations make you more controlling? Do you think there are some ways to proactively counteract that? 

3. Share with the group some times when you feel like you saw or experienced the provision of God in your life.
