Are you exhausted from overthinking, trying to fix others, and wanting to figure everything out? It's time to hand over to God what was always His to carry.

So many of us don't consider ourselves controlling people. But when one of our kids, a close friend, a co-worker, or someone else we love is making choices we know aren’t going to play out well, we can feel like we don’t have any other choice than to step in. Other times, we become so fixated on making sure things turn out OK that a situation consumes our thoughts and drains all of our energy.

In this six-session Bible study, bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst walks alongside you with vulnerability, biblical depth, and hard-won wisdom. Drawing from her own lived experiences—navigating divorce, a breast cancer diagnosis, and the relentless weight of watching loved ones make painful choices—Lysa further unpacks the scriptural concepts in her book Making Peace with What I Can't Control.

This Bible study will equip you to:

• Identify the core fears that fuel you to reach for control but only compound the chaos.
• Know when you’re crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control.
• Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep you in spiritual confusion (about God) fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life).
• Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob your peace by learning what to do when you feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.
• Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren’t You doing more to change this person or these circumstances?
