It’s true that Jesus died for the sins of the world, but during His earthly life He didn’t do everything that people asked Him to do. He didn’t heal all the people who needed healing. He fed the 5000, but not everyone else. He spoke to the multitudes, but most people never heard the sound of His voice.
Not everything is yours to fix. What are you trying to fix right now that just can’t be fixed by you? Not everything is yours to do. What have you left undone that just can’t be done by you?
Here is what the Bible says. “The Lord will fight for you; just stay calm.” (Exodus 14:14)
“O God, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light rises up in darkness for the godly: Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what you would have us to do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in your light we may see light, and in your straight path may not stumble, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For Guidance – BCP p. 832)
