One of the significant issues a relationship will face, regardless how it’s defined, is that of control. Realistically, everyone should have a measure of control. An infant learns immediately that if he or she cries, someone will take care of their needs. Even a child is given power to decide on limited issues.
As children advance into adolescence and on to adulthood, more control is allocated, provided appropriate maturity is validated. The French philosopher Jean Rousseau noted, “The strongest is never strong enough to always be the master unless he transforms strength into justice and obedience into duty.”
Jeremiah 10:23 declares, "Lord, I know no one is master of their own destiny; no one has complete control over their life." The name Adonai identifies God as Lord and Master. His ability to direct your life is superior, so his plans for your destiny are above reproach.

of the Lord that will be established.
