Some days you can’t believe the kind of crap that has to come your way.
Then, if you’re lucky—really, it’s if you have someone close to you who can remind you of this—you will remember to not try to fix it solve it or take control.
A real blessing is if that person can also help you avoid getting dragged into the mania of others for a plan, a response. It’s one thing for you yourself to be abandoned to God, knowing that there is nothing you can do, nothing you need to do, other than let Him work. It is another thing entirely to avoid letting others take you captive to the world again. Giving into their fears, allowing their need for someone to be in control—as flattering as it may be when they are hopeful that you are in control—it takes real spiritual power to avoid this.
