Listen "Thanks, but I think I will just do it my way."

Episode Synopsis

Why is it so hard to follow God's will for our lives?  
Why do we get tired of being obedient? 
Why do we want to control the outcomes?  
Why do we lose patience in the process? 
Romans 12:2 (ESV) says, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." 
Our brains can hold a lot of information, but when the information is at war (worldly beliefs contradicting God's word) we become overwhelmed, exhausted and depressed.  It is just too much.  We try to hold on to what we know without letting go and letting God's word replace it.  My friend, the overwhelm, pressure and exhaustion is God's hand on your life.  He is molding and shaping you.  He is pruning away the parts that are holding you back.  You must make a choice to embrace it or retreat.  What will you choose?
