I'm Lena Abu Jama, and this is today's

0:05

single Christian. I was going on vacation

0:08

recently when I made the mistake of checking the

0:10

weather forecast for that place. In

0:12

a matter of seconds, my hopes were deflated

0:14

and my mood swung. How dare the

0:16

weather app show rain for at least three of the five

0:18

days I'd be there? Have you ever noticed

0:20

how easily we give control of our moods to

0:22

things that don't really matter? Have

0:24

you ever noticed how easily we let the things of this

0:26

world manage our lives and our outlooks?

0:29

The strength of the Christian is the reality

0:31

that God is in control of every detail

0:34

of our lives. He's the one who started

0:36

the work in us, and he's the one who will complete it.

0:38

Your friends don't control you. Your paycheck

0:40

doesn't control you. Even the weather app can't

0:43

control you. As you submit your

0:45

life to God and surrender your future to

0:47

him, God promises peace that passes

0:49

all understanding. For more on
