On our need to be in control, a topic perennially near and dear to my heart. A tiny sample, but please go read the whole thing:
Turning to something bigger than herself, she says, made her feel less alone, although still anxious and afraid. Eventually, sitting side by side with her fear of the unknown and abiding with it, she was able to let control go and allow love to enter her heart, a simple compassion for her friend and herself. Her prayer went from “Please let such-and-such happen” to “May my friend know that he is not alone in his time of trial, may benevolence surround him.”
