The only thing in the universe you can control is you. Yourself! Can we all agree on that? The only thing you can control is yourself. You can’t control the events, but with prayer and God’s help, you can control how you respond to those events. Romans 12:2 exhorts us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (NIV). This is something we can do in cooperation with the Spirit’s work on our lives.
