Worrying about the Wrong Things

Good Morning! Today instead of a Vs, I'm going to use part of a prayer. The Serenity Prayer, some of you may know it some of you may not. It goes like this, God grant me the serinity to accept the things I CANNOT CHANGE, the courage to CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN, and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. Man you don't know how much this prayer helps me in my daily life as far as stress and strain on my emothions. So often in life we worry about people, or situations or even scenrios we dream up in our own heads that we have NO CONTROL over. Like for instance you know someone who says they are doing something one way, but they are really doing it another. Well you can chose to do something about or you can let it go. Dwelling on what others are doing will only get your blood pressure going, and most the time these people don't even care if it upsets you. (THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE) I had to learn early in my Recovery that the only person in this world I can change is myself and the way I do things. And that means not worrying about what others are doing out there be it business, recovery or the way they live their life. But that I can only be responsible for me. (CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN) And this is the BIG ONE! (THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE) So many times during the day I wine or bitch or moan over things I have no control over, like the way the government is being run,or the way another business is doing things,but the thing is unless there is something I can do it is useless for me to even think about these things. It is a waste of my time and Gods. So today when worry about something in your life comes. Unless it is something to do with you. You probably can't change it. So turn it over to God and look for the things in your life you can change. Cause that is what Life in Christ is all about. CHANGE! HABD!
