Here’s my hot take on what I learned the hard way…
For a long time I believed that I could control a lot of things. Therefore, when drama happened as I was trying to control people or things, in my mind, at least something was happening versus things staying the same. That drama fed the lie that I had some control, even if my control led to chaos.
Living in the reality that we don’t have control over others or outcomes is way harder. Not every fire is yours to put out. You’ve got to leave space for people to experience the consequences of their behavior or choices. Often, that is what helps people discover their own need for God instead of you trying to be a god in their lives by trying to fix things.
Where do you need to step back together from trying to put out a fire or fix a mess that someone else is responsible for?
Step back. Take a deep breath. Pray.
