Formatted Contents Note Introduction: I'm not a controlling person, am I? -- Grasping for guarantees -- I thought the only one I could truly count on was me -- Is this responsibility or control? -- I didn't realize I was trying to control them -- Fears that drive our desire for control -- A marked moment of release -- Shifting the weight I was never meant to carry -- I have cosigned their chaos long enough. Now I choose self-control -- When it all feels so relentless -- The one rule of life for us all.
Summary, Etc. It's not that we want to be controlling people; it's just 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 come up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone around us line up with what we really think is best. We don't have bad motives. We're just desperate to prevent another hardship, more heartbreak, and all the emotional turmoil that feels so unnecessary. But this only leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us -- a crushing weight we were never meant to bear. In this book, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. Together, we'll learn that it's not too late to take the weight of the world off our shoulders and hand over to God what was always supposed to be His to carry.
