Control: command, rule, dictate, master, regulate, dominate, hold sway over.
So much of your energy is spent trying to control your enviornment. This need to control creates a cycle of frustration for you and your family. Control treads on their responsibilities and is by nature disrespectful, since control is a power struggle. Only God has that kind of power.
Instead, order your life. Give order to your home, your conversations, your thoughts. These are your God-given areas to manage. Order brings calm structure. Order provides the boundaries needed for those around you to thrive with clear expectations.
Let God control. Order your days.
Ordered: orderly, arranged, well-organized, systematic, in good form, methodical, tidy.
