If That's What You Want

Don't worry about what you can't control. You may be able to influence the thoughts, actions and deeds of others but never will you control them. We were created with free will and designed to make our own choices. By the same token our consequences for our decisions are ours too. 

I am learning to leave people to their own devices. Some people don't want to be different or what you may see as better.  The desire to change starts from within each of  us.  If your surrounding situation has not changed  over time  and you are stlill stressing over the situation, may I encourage you to stop worrying about what you can't control  and control what you can. Your thoughts, your reactions, your  peace. 

Roman 1:28

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

If it seems as though you have been beating your hands and head against a brick wall, trying to show someone a better way and it's causing your more stress and pain than doing them any good,  give yourself a break. As heartbreaking as it can be sometimes, you can't continue to worry about what you can't control. 

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

Love y'all!!!
