Keep Calm and Have Faith

Lately I have been reading Romans. This book is so legit. These are people that are being  persecuted in the heart of extremely hostile environment. Paul writes this letter with such conviction and blunt wisdom; I catch myself constantly in awe and reverence to the profound words.
What has recently caught me off guard the most is Romans 5 to 8. Our faith brings hope. I think at least I take for advantage the fact that faith is so important to live in God's plan. I am personally a person who naturally wants control of my environment. So, naturally God keeps placing me into situations where I have no control. I have slowly learned that there is no greater since of hope and joy then when I completely live by faith.
5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that sufferingproduces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans is a perfect "go to" book for those who struggle as I have. I know first hand how scary it can be to release control but the fact that my life's greatest moments is when I have the least control. What is special in Romans is that the Apostle Paul says shows that faith brings hope to the nation but on top of that he explains that everyday importance of living in God. I want to challenge you to pray to God and release that control you are holding on to if that is finances, hurt relationships, or worries of the future. It is in God's control, stop pretending you have a say, it will only cause pain.
