It sounds like you have a good handle on it, legally -- well done.
I too have not so much a hard time turning things over to God, but I tend then play tug-of-war with Him. And although He is all-powerful, guess what? He's also a gentleman, and He's NOT going to keep something if I want to keep taking it back from Him. So yeah, that one's a struggle.
Or, I turn it over, and trust Him to handle it, but only in a certain way, or with a certain outcome. When He -- seeing all things, and loving me and knowing what is best for me -- starts to "work something together for the good," but in a shape or timeframe that's different from what PUPPY thought it should be . . . well, then I get discouraged and think He's not listening to me.
Getting closer to God is truly one of the benefits of these otherwise horrible sitches. I like what somebody once said about that: "If you find yourself further from God, ask yourself: WHO MOVED???"
