Ron: Sometimes “grasping for straws” is really grasping for control.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: People often write to me in tough situations hoping I can tell them how to get control of their life. Now, if you ask these same people about their past they’ll tell you a story about how God provided and took care of them. But ask them about their future—their marriage, their retirement, their kids—and their first inclination is to try to figure it out all by themselves.

Look, I get it. When I ask a life-related question, I really want an answer. But what I know is that I’m better off not having all the answers. I’m better off trusting and being dependent upon God, instead of grasping for control. And so are you. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
