Find Relief from the Exhaustion of Overthinking, Trying to Fix Others, and Wanting to Figure It All Out
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst offers a life-giving alternative to the exhausting madness of trying to change people who don't want to be changed, prevent feared outcomes, and manage things outside of anyone's control.
Lysa would say she has never thought she’s a controlling person. She believes that most people do not want to be controlling people; it's the best intentions of want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos. So many times it is easy to up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone line up with what is “best". But in Lysa’s hard-won experience, it only leads to a counterfeit version of control, believing everything depends on us, an ultimately crushing and never-intended weight.
Lysa addresses this tension: where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention. In Making Peace With What I Can’t Control, Lysa shows us how to know when a line has been crossed from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control. Instead of allowing the decisions of others to rob peace, Lysa guides readers to learn what to do when tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.
