are we ready to let God captain our ship?

I can say that the last couple of days have been an interesting.  I have had problems allowing God to be the "captain" of my life.  I'm not sure why I didn't before?  It's very possible that I just wasn't ready to hear what He had to show me.  Now, even though it is still difficult, I can see why He needs to be the captain.  He definitely knows what's best and He definitely knows what is ahead in my life.  Imagine steering your own life and not seeing the icebergs and danger ahead?  We would run straight into those icebergs without a second thought because we were unable to know that they were there in order to steer away from them.  Now imagine God steering your life.  He would be able to steer far away from those dangers way before you would even begin to think about the fact that they were there.  How cool is that?  He keeps us safe and allows us to seek Him without putting us through things that we would be unable to handle.  He loves us that much that He wants us to steer away from those things but we can't do it alone.  We have to let Him take over and we will be safer than we ever thought possible.

So true, if we dont let God lead our lives who else can other than ourselves and that wouldnt be a good idea. Its so comforting knowing that God IS in control of our lives and we should be grateful for it. It isnt until we do a complete surrender to God that we glimpse the path that is in front of us.
