When you are tempted to manipulate the outcome

Colossians 3:15

Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart.

When you are tempted to manipulate the outcome. The situation may be ordinary, but the story you attach to it can shape the whole day. The temptation is to solve the discomfort fast. But fast relief and faithful direction are not always the same thing. You do not need omniscience to make a faithful decision. Jesus Christ can direct a surrendered person one step at a time. You do not have to solve your whole life before lunch. You do need to decide who gets the final word today.

What truth from Scripture needs to become louder than your first reaction today?

Jesus, I do not want an old pattern making today's decision for me. Renew my mind, steady my emotions, and lead me in truth. You are Lord here too. Amen.
