Find Peace in Letting Go

What do you do when life feels out of control?

In Beyond Our Control: Let Go of Unmet Expectations, Overcome Anxiety, and Discover Intimacy with God, Michael and Lauren McAfee share their powerful story of navigating seasons of grief, pain, and uncertainty. Through their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss, they reveal how surrendering to God’s sovereignty brings profound peace and deeper intimacy with Him.

This transformative book provides readers with:

• A biblical foundation for trusting God in times of uncertainty.
• Encouragement to let go of unmet expectations and embrace His greater plan.
• Insights on finding joy and contentment in an unpredictable world.
• Personal testimonies of God’s faithfulness in the midst of hardship.

Michael and Lauren McAfee remind us that even when life feels overwhelming, God is in control and His plans are good. By surrendering our need for control, we can experience a richer prayer life, joyful eternal perspective, and a closer relationship with God.
