Biblical Answer

The question of whether one can still have a sense of control when their body is out of control is a complex one. On one hand, the Bible teaches that we are not in control of our spiritual formation, and that we must intentionally design our lives to give Jesus free rein over our formation. This means that we must recognize our limitations and surrender to God's sovereignty. However, this does not mean that we are completely powerless. Scripture teaches that self-control is a skill that can be learned and developed through the power of the Spirit within us.

Self-control involves the ability to master our own impulses and emotions, our willfulness, our tongue, our behavior, and our moods. It is not about being in control, but about being controlled by the Spirit. This means that we must learn to listen to the Spirit's guidance and follow His lead, even when our bodies are out of control. This is not a matter of self-will or self-discipline, but of surrendering to God's will and allowing Him to shape us into the image of Christ.

Ultimately, the question of control is not about whether we are in control or not, but about whether we are willing to surrender to God's sovereignty. When we recognize that we are not in control, we can begin to see the world in a new light. We can see that our bodies are not our own, but are temples of the Holy Spirit. We can see that our lives are not our own, but are a gift from God to be used for His glory. And we can see that our struggles with self-control are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of God's power working in us. By surrendering to God's sovereignty, we can find a sense of control that is not based on our own strength, but on God's power and love.
