Jesus Take the Wheel

Psalm 31:24 MSG, “Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up. Expect God to get here soon.”

Have you heard the song “Jesus Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood? I’m trying to give Jesus the wheel of my life. I’m trying to let go, but it is a daily battle.

Learning to surrender and follow Christ is hard. Obedience comes when I throw my hands up and just let Him drive. Partial obedience, taking the wheel back every now and then, is not seen as obedience in Christ’s eyes. He wants the whole steering wheel. It’s time I let go of my controlling nature and give Him the wheel.

Don’t give up on Christ; turn the wheel over to Him and let Him drive. He tells us, “Be brave, and be strong. Give me the wheel and we’ll get there soon.”
