       In speaking of giving up control, let us remind ourselves of what this method of understanding means. The whole premise behind giving up control, or we might say surrendering, is to get out of a fear state in our minds. Fear is attached to the lower levels of consciousness. Remember, the Apostle John talked about this, before he transcended (that is, unless he is still around, perhaps wanting in a cave for Indiana Jones). Regardless, remember what he said, and it’s within one of our verses, “but perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18, ESV). Do you see? Often the New Testament writers speak to us more on an everyday, common, human level, a level that most people would understand due to the degradation in their level of consciousness. John here shows us that of which the ultimate goal is, and that is getting out of the fear state. Again, Giving up control means that we are not focused on fear, but on letting out all that emotional pressure behind it.
