When criticism ruins an otherwise good day

Galatians 2:20

Your old life is not the final word, Christ now lives in you.

When criticism ruins an otherwise good day. It is easy to sound spiritual until this is the thing sitting in front of you. Sometimes the breakthrough is not a dramatic change in circumstances. Sometimes it is catching the old pattern before you obey it again. Your worth was not built by performance, approval, age, appearance, or achievement. Jesus Christ is the One who names you. Let truth interrupt the reflex before the reflex becomes another chapter.

What are you trying to control because you are afraid to trust God with the outcome?

Jesus Christ, I release my need to control how this turns out. Help me steward what You actually placed in my hands and trust You with what You did not. Amen.
