Laying Down the Reins

Apr 22, 2026    Stanton Petersen

Have you ever tried to "help" God out? We read His promises, we know what He has said, but when things seem to be moving too slowly, or going in a direction we don't quite understand, we panic. We grab the steering wheel. We operate under the exhausting belief that if we don't manage the situation, God's plan will somehow fall apart. We want to orchestrate outcomes, especially when it comes to the people we love. Well, today, we’re looking at a relatable family where human flesh steps in to control what God has already promised to do. It’s a confronting, yet liberating lesson in learning to finally lay down the reins.
