CONTROL: to have the power of ruling, guiding, or managing, to hold back, the power to direct, restraint.
CONTROLLER: the person in charge
COMPLETE: having no part missing; whole, finished, ended, thorough; perfect
You cannot be in complete control of your life or destiny.
First of all, you are not the one in charge.
Second of all, your life was planned and finished, BEFORE, you were born.
We are part of the controller's plan and a tool for His purpose.
You may think you can control your being and circumstances, but you are in no position to feel you are perfect enough to be in charge of your whole life.
We were not given complete control, only 'choice' in making some circumstances happen, but not change. He knew what the choice would be. God already planned for the change, if it were to be so. If it is not changed, it is not in His plan. Think about it!
God knew what all our choices would have been, throughout our lifetime, long before they even happened. So how is it people feel they can have complete control of their lives. Not so, we are not the controller. God knew I would do as I do, and say the things I say; long before I was even born. He knew I would be who I am and have the imperfections I have. He knows all that goes on in my head and structure. He even knows if the smallest blood vessel or nerve is damaged. He even knows how many hairs are on my head. So how is it we feel we can change what He has in store for us? Let it be and let God be in control.

"Nor did it come into My mind,"
Jer. 19:5 They have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My mind.
Jer. 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son on Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come into My Mind that they should do this.
So, I believe G-d knows everything – if He chooses, but what if He chooses to be surprised like a normal father?
If G-d knew ahead that one language would bring people to evil thoughts – why did He not separate them before hand?
Gen. 11:6 And the L-rd said, “indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
Did G-d know people would choose to eat their young in a desperate situation?
2 Kgs. 6:28 Then the king said to her, “what is troubling you?” And she answered, “this woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘give your son, that we may eat him;
These are probably unanswered questions until we get to the other side – just running through my mind. You got me to thinking.
