what am I responsible for?

"Problems are part of life. They are insecapable: woven into the very fabric of this fallen world. You tend to go into problem solving mode all too readily, acting as if you have the capacity to fix everything... Don't weigh yourself down with responsibilities that are not your own...Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to your attention, ask Me to show you what is truly important." Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Luke 10$1-42 But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only a few are necessary, really only one, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

My counselor Mary once told me "You can only be responsible for thing that you have the authority and ability to change." How much time do we waste worrying over things that are not in our control. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't care about others and their problems, but that we should care enough to take it to Jesus and let Him work in their lives. Then we are free to spend time with God and to do what God has asked us to do! What is God asking you to trust Him with today and what is He asking you to do?
