Why do I fight it?

Sometimes things in life get thrown at us and we don't think we can handle it. But from past experiences I know that I can. I have this problem where I try to handle everything by myself rather than giving it up to God. And each time I realize that I need to surrender it to God, everything works out according to His plan. Yet the next time a problem comes along I try to do it by myself again! You would think that I would learn my lesson but of course I'm stubborn and I don't. It's really all about faith because it's hard sometimes to not worry and to not think about the end result. Its comforting to know that God is in control and He already knows how everything is going to work out and how everything is going to happen. I just need to remember that He will not give me more than I can handle and He wants to take all my cares and concerns upon Him. He is a great God and I need to start trusting Him more and sooner, rather than taking things into my own hands.
