I’M LOSING CONTROL

Do you continually involve yourself with the behavior of others?

Do you regularly assume the responsibilities of other people? 

Do you often criticize the people in your life?

Do often experience disappointment by people in your circle?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, have fun with this interactive activity.

1. First, make a list of the people whose behavior, issues, or well-being genuinely concern you. Start with your name. Then, be as inclusive as you want: significant other, family, friends, work associates, politicians, etc.  

2. After finalizing your list of names, go back through the list and scratch through each person you cannot change. 

3. Whose names remain on your list? Ideally, only one person’s name should remain on your list. That name is yours. However, If you still have other names on your list, it’s okay. You’re getting there.

4. Finally, please scroll down to hear and reflect on this message by Dr. Les Carter.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. (Psalms 139:23)
