Here’s a simple way to get unstuck when you’re worried, overwhelmed, or overthinking a decision.

Ask yourself one question:

What kind of thing am I dealing with?

Most issues fall into one of three categories.

1. Settled Things

These are things that have already been decided.

Your birth family.
Your nation of origin.
Your height.
Your past decisions.
Your upbringing.
Things you did.
Things done to you.

Some of these things were decided by your own past actions. Others were decided by God’s providence. As Paul says in Acts 17:26, God determined our appointed times and the boundaries of our dwelling place.

You can’t go back and change these things.

So the question is not, “How do I undo this?”

The question is, “Does this have any bearing on what I should do now?”

If not, leave it alone. Don’t spend your life fighting settled things.

2. Action Things
These are things you have some real control over.

Your diet.
Your exercise.
Your spending.
Your work ethic.
Your attitude.
Your friendships.
Your theological knowledge.
Your presentability.
Your habits.
Your skills.

These are your controllables.

You may not control everything about your health, finances, relationships, or future. But you usually control more than you think.

So if the issue falls here, don’t overthink it.

Take direct action.

Start small if you have to. Make the call. Go on the walk. Open the Bible. Apologize. Apply for the job. Pay the bill. Clean the room. Do the next faithful thing.

3. Prayer Things

These are things outside your direct control, but not outside God’s control.

The economy.
The weather.
The housing market.
The availability of a suitable spouse.
Other people’s choices.
Timing.
Open doors.
Closed doors.

You can’t force these things. You can’t grab the steering wheel of providence.

But God can act.

So you take indirect action through prayer. You ask. You wait. You prepare. You remain faithful. You do what you can do and trust God with what only He can do.

So ask yourself:

Is this settled?
Then accept it and learn from it.

Is this actionable?
Then do something.

Is this outside my control?
Then pray and trust God.

This is a simple framework, and yes, it’s a little reductionistic. But that’s the point. The goal is not to explain every complexity of life. The goal is to get you unstuck.

Most people waste too much energy trying to change the past, control what belongs to God, or pray about things they simply need to obey.

So categorize the issue.

Then act accordingly.

Accept what is settled.
Act on what is yours.
Pray over what belongs to God.

Planned Parenthood's COVID fraud:

"Planned Parenthood affiliates were caught receiving 120 million dollars of our taxpayer money under false pretenses during COVID payouts in 2020 and 2021. Thus far, there is no accountability. Instead, some members of Congress are trying to force you to fund Planned Parenthood and these Big Abortion providers!

The U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Chair Joni Ernst (R-IA) uncovered Biden’s White House using code words like “Benghazi” to prevent Freedom of Information Act searches exposing money going to Planned Parenthood affiliates. This system is tied to at least 90 million dollars in loan forgiveness under false pretenses.

Keep in mind, during COVID, Planned Parenthood was deemed “essential” and never shut down its murderous practices. So, it didn’t lose a penny.

Right now, lawmakers are drafting the language for the federal budget. If a ban is not written into this bill at this stage, it becomes difficult to remove funding later."

What I love about watching this over and over is noticing again and again that Nebraska wore their only uniform that doesn’t have player names on the back of the jersey.

This play embodies their selfless, team-centric culture.

8 seconds.

8.

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

Watching an inside the park home run is one of the most exciting plays in baseball. Seeing Pete-Crow Armstrong hit one while only taking 8 seconds from first base to homeplate is absolutely insane to me.

I think about this a lot. When asked how he remained fearless in battle, Stonewall Jackson said,

“Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.”

“Make a line and I’ll sign each autograph” she told fans
