Let me help to liberate you. The other day, a saw a quote that said “I will not stress myself out about things I can’t control or change.”
For days, this exact saying has been my prayer. There are so many things that we just cannot control in this life. Whether it be relationships, other people’s behaviors, or life events.
Life has become so much more enjoyable for me ever since I started to PHYSICALLY and PRESENTLY apply this to my everyday attitude. It’s hard at first, and a lot of times, it doesn’t get any easier. But there is something so freeing about just letting things happen, regardless of how you feel/think, because ultimately in the end, our worry and fretting is harming no one but ourselves. Our fretting + sadness + anxiousness will NOT change the situation at hand. It will only cause more stress and the weight will remain on our chest.
My faith is stronger than the strongest boulder on earth. Keeping this faith close to my heart has been so beneficial, because I can give it up to God and let Him carry the weight and do the work. He is the only one that will be able to change hearts or minds. Nothing that I say or do will magically change any situation. Let go and let Him work!
