It's not that we want to control people, it's that we want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos-especially when we are afraid of what God seems to be allowing. So, we make plans and become intentional in our attempts to make everyone around us align with what we think is best. But this leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us-a crushing weight we were never meant to bear.

In Making Peace with What I Can't Control, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us face, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. She shows us how to:

• Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control
• Know when we're crossing the line from healthy responsibility into fear-driven control
• Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion
• Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative
• Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren't You doing more to change this person or these circumstances?
