​God With Everything
Like many in our community since July 4, 2025, I have spent a great deal of my time and energy on disaster relief. And since July 16, 2026, I have continued to dedicate my focus to recovery for our neighbors in need. If there is anything that the last 14 months has taught me is that I am not in control.

Jesus models for us the practice of letting go of control and earthly power. He empties himself at the cross, trusting in the goodness and love of the Father. God intends that we follow the same path. Yet, in situations both large and small, we find this incredibly difficult. Why?

Throughout my life, my walk with Christ has been what I would call, “inconsistent.” Many periods have been filled with a shallow commitment on my part. Other periods have found me deepening my relationship with Christ by prioritizing my time in prayer, scripture reading, stillness with God, reflection and intention.

I want to be an emotionally healthy disciple for Jesus Christ.

Recently, I have been reading Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and The Emotionally Healthy Church by Pete Scazzero and I wanted to share some of the reasons he explores for why we lack in trusting God…


1. Fear. Is it any wonder God says to us over and over again in Scripture, “Do not fear?”

2. We worry that things will fall apart. That is true—at least the things that God never intended to remain in the first place. Regardless, we can only keep our plans and agendas from falling apart for a short time.
“Unless the Lord builds a house, we labor in vain who build it?” (Ps. 127:1).

3. We worry that we will fall apart. Yes, that is true, and it may be a very good thing. Our false selves need to be dismantled by the Spirit. When we fall apart, it offers God the opportunity to rebuild us.

4. Our families of origin. For some people, things were out of control in their families growing up. So now, as adults, they resist letting go of the control in their life.

5. Past betrayals. A young adult recently shared how impossible it is for him to trust God since he was betrayed by so many authority figures in his life.
“With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matt 19:26).

6. A distorted image of God. We serve a God who loves us with inexhaustible love and with no strings attached. Our heavenly Father seeks our good in any and every situation. Yet many relate to God as if he were an angry deity—demanding and consistently frustrated with us. It is hard to let go and trust that kind of God.

7. Lack of stillness and silence before him. Without a dimension of silence and stillness in our lives (two of the most difficult spiritual practices for me), we don’t offer the Holy Spirit space where he can tenderize our willfulness and turn it into willingness.

8. Perfectionism. Many of us who seek excellence carry the shadow of a driving perfectionism. When we begin to learn to let go, we find that God is passionate that we become excellent at letting go and trusting Him. And that is much more important to Him than having our environment marked by order and perfection.

9. A limited view of letting go. This is not about answering an altar call, having a crisis moment of surrender or praying once a day. Letting go of control and trusting Jesus is the core of the Christian life—every day, every hour, every moment.

10. Denial. A day is coming when our earthly life will be over. We will let go of everything—health, relationships, status, possessions. We are all very vulnerable. In a moment, our lives can completely change. To think that we are in control is simply an illusion.

May we all seek to trust God with everything, and everyday.


Blessings, Beth

Thank you to Jane Davis for sharing her prayer about hope with us.
Thank you, Jesus, for the hope that You bring to each of us!

​_________________________________________
I am praying for you this morning…

As the morning sun creeps over the far horizon, God is sending a burst of HOPE your way.
No matter where you are…what you are going through…or what lies ahead, there is always HOPE.
You have to surrender to it, believe it, and embrace it.

It’s here for you, and me.
HOPE is everlasting. It comes from our everlasting God.
He has, and is the answer. It is always what’s best for us…even if His way is different from our way.

HOPE changes everything. It takes us from despair to PEACE.
So, relax. God’s got us covered.
God closes with His BLESSING…

“The Lord bless you and keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord turn His face toward you
And give you peace.

May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children
And their children.

May His presence go before you
And behind you,
And beside you
All around you, and within you
He is with you.


In the morning, in the evening
In your coming, and your going
In your weeping, and rejoicing
He is for you.”


Amen.


- Jane Davis
