There are many things out of your control!
For instance, let’s say your car is in for repair.
The mechanic says it will be ready on Thursday but on Wednesday he calls you and says that he had to order a part from Seattle and it won’t arrive until Thursday and possibly your car will be ready on Friday.
Sure, you can yell, scream, raise your blood pressure, stress out others, and say things you’ll regret later but that won’t make your part get here any quicker.
On Thursday the mechanic calls you and says they sent the wrong part but he’s called the company and they realize their mistake and will over-night the right one.
Sure, you can yell, scream, raise your blood pressure, stress out others, and say things you’ll regret later but that won’t make your part get here any quicker.
Sure, you can yell, scream, raise your blood pressure, stress out others, and say things you’ll regret later but that won’t melt the snow any quicker and the snow wasn’t the mechanics fault.
On Friday a snow storm grounds all air traffic at the airport and your part never makes it there. It gets rerouted to Kansas City.
Sure, you can yell, scream, raise your blood pressure, stress out others, and say things you’ll regret later but that won’t make your part get out of Kansas City any quicker.
It is the next Tuesday before you get your car back with the new part installed.
It runs better than ever, which is what you wanted.
It took a little longer and you were inconvenienced the whole time, being without your car; but you got it back in great running order.
Did you help things along by getting angry and stressing out over it?
Did you make it get repaired quicker by talking to everyone about the inept mechanic that YOU took the car to?
You could not control anything about the situation except yourself.
Don’t sin by letting anger gain control over you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Ps 4:4
