When Things Are Out of Control, What Do You Do?

Every day, we have opportunities to get upset, be frustrated, offended or get even. 
Maybe you had plans that didn’t work out, or someone was rude to you at the office. 
Maybe you were doing something that should have taken 1 hour, and it ended up taking 3... 

Life is full of inconveniences, but even though we can’t always control our circumstances, we can control our reaction. Someone once said; “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond.”

We should always go out each day with a positive attitude, full of hope and expecting God’s favor. But at the same time, we should recognize that most days are not going to go exactly as we plan. 

Remember, we were created to live in peace. Peace is our position of power. If you get stressed because you got off schedule, or upset because your child wouldn’t eat his breakfast, or frustrated because somebody offended you, what you’re doing is giving away your power. Instead, make the decision to release those offenses and disappointments so you can live in peace and enjoy the day as the blessing God prepared for you!
