"Life is simpler in the passenger seat." ~ anne mileur

Life has a way of making us think we have to drive everything ourselves. Hands tight on the wheel. Eyes fixed on the road. Trying to control every turn, every bump, every “what if.”

And if we’re honest, that kind of living is exhausting.

Anne said it simply: “Life is simpler in the passenger seat.”

She’s usually teasing me when she says it—but the truth behind it runs deeper than either of us first realized.

Some of us have spent a lifetime driving. Leading. Protecting. Making decisions for everyone else. When you’ve worn the uniform, carried responsibility, or shepherded people through hard seasons, you get used to being the one behind the wheel. It feels natural. Necessary, even.

But faith was never about controlling the road. It’s about trusting the Driver.

When we insist on steering everything ourselves, we carry the weight of every outcome. But when we finally slide over and let God lead, something changes. The road may still twist and climb, but the burden lifts. We’re no longer responsible for mapping the whole journey—just for trusting the One who is.

I’ve had seasons where I white-knuckled life, trying to manage it all. Those were the heaviest miles. The peace came when I finally said, “Lord, You drive.”

Turns out, life really is simpler in the passenger seat.

Walk in faith, rest in grace, and trust the One who walks beside you.
In His love and grace,
