“26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

God has made every human being for a purpose and He has the blue print of every one in His plan. It is impossible to be who God has designed you to be without allowing Him to take full control of your life. If you worry now till Kingdom come about a situation, your worries and anxiety will not change anything except undue stress that will make you to be discouraged to move forward and rule over your challenges. A woman is more prone to anxieties because she reacts emotionally to things more often while a man is ruled by logics.

It is normal for a woman to feel overwhelmed at times believing that life has been so unfair due to an unending responsibilities facing her. But she needs to remember that no man or woman can prevail by the arm of flesh. It is not the plan of God for you to lose your mind or be disoriented by what is facing you. However he wants you to learn the act of being in control by depending on him as opposed to taking steps out of emotional turmoil.

As a woman, it is very important not to be overruled by emotions because there is tendency for the enemy to capitalize on that to make you take decisions which are contrary to the plan of God for your life. When you get carried away by situations and circumstances around you, you tend to lose that God’s given ability to pay attention to little details which can make you pick the tricks and antics of the enemy. Keep your focus on God and not on what people think about you, pay more attention to what God thinks of you in every decision and step that you take. Be wary of how the enemy may want to manipulate you by playing with your emotions to jettison your relationship and rob you of your God given opportunities. Go to God in prayers without ceasing until you are fully persuaded and convinced of the way to go. Friendship with the world is enmity with God, seek and pursue the things that will make you to be at peace with God. The bible says we should follow peace with all men.

Sometimes your action as dictated by the leading of God might put you at a distasteful position with some people but you must learn to put God first that is when you can actually be in control to pursue His agenda for your life. Naturally, a woman has been wired in a way through her Godly endowed capacity to be able to take note of little details that a man can easily overlook. This trait is even more heightened in a Spirit-filled woman. That is the reason a woman must not give room to distractive ventures that can deaden or reduce the potency of her God-given sensitivity. It has to be kept potent and charged up by developing deep fellowship with God through prayers, meditation and by studying/listening to God’s word. It is important for a woman to be in control of the issues facing her so that she can play her given role of inducing emotional and psychological support for her family. By the virtue of the kind of responsibilities of a woman in the family, the family system is more susceptible to disruption when a woman loses her calm.

Things easily tend to go into disarray very fast when a woman gets overwhelmed by what is facing her, the entire fabric of her family gets impacted when things are out of control for a woman. A woman is more emotionally there to support the family. That is why it is very rare for a woman to walk away forgetting about the husband and the children. You can only be in charge when you have a continuous discovery of who you are in Christ when you are not given to the dictates of what life and the people around you are presenting to you. You must be confident of who you are in the Lord and also acknowledge on a continuous basis that you cannot pull through as a woman without depending on the wisdom of God. A woman is faced with so many things competing for her attention on a daily basis, every day comes with its own challenges and therefore it requires fresh wisdom and strength to tackle.

That is the reason why a woman cannot afford not to have that conscious effort to walk with God on a daily basis otherwise your strength will not carry you through and you will just see yourself falling apart like a pack of cards. A woman has to stay strong for her husband and children as a help meet ordained by God. Seek God in your wilderness so that you can find green pasture in the desert and an everlasting stream of living water in your dry areas. Stop all the lamentation and be strong as you believe God to bring surplus in the face of nothingness to shield you from heat and bring succor to you on every side. Whosoever that put his trust in God is never ashamed. Ride upon the wings of the wisdom of God and His guidance as you grow into the real woman after God’s own heart.
