Who’s in charge of your life?
- Job.
Career or employment that can define identity and priorities.- Can quietly replace calling with comfort.
- Often dictates time, energy and self-worth.
- Children.
Family responsibilities that can become the center of life.- Good gifts can still become controlling masters.
- Love turns into pressure when fear leads.
- Pride.
Self-centered confidence that resists correction.- Refuses help and rejects accountability.
- Blocks growth and isolates the heart.
- Debt.
Financial obligation that limits freedom and choices.- Creates anxiety and narrows vision.
- Pushes decisions driven by pressure, not purpose.
- Jesus.
Savior and Lord who offers life and freedom.- Leads with truth, not control.
- Restores order and brings peace.
