Luke 12:22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
With the exception of parenting a child, you are not responsible for anyone's behavior except your own. You can worry and lose sleep over other people's behavior. Wrongly, many people thik if they worry and lose sleep over other's behavior there is omethinf godly or admirable about worrying over someon else. God wants us to care in strength and power. When we have concerns and worries over the behavior of others, we are to take our concerns to Christ. We are to place our worries and concerns for others in the hands of Christ so He will do His will in the life of those we pray for each day. It is better to plave the life of those we care about in the hands of Christ than to losr sleep and gorw anxious sick and tired over other's behavior. No doubt, these words are easier to read and to say than they are to practive. What al of us must do is keep our focus on being a witness for others rather than making ourselves weak over their behavior.
Please pray with me.
Dear God, Help us to kno w that not only can you help with other's problems, but our problems too, but we should not worry about other's problems because you help them too. Amen.
