The Illusion of Control

Are you a perfectionist who blames yourself whenever things work out less than 100% right? Are you constantly telling yourself: If only I would have done x or y, everything would be fine, or Things would be okay if I had just said/done/thought/prayed the right thing. Are you finding yourself increasingly depressed, with a profound sense of failure? Have you tried to work on your problems, perhaps even with a counselor, but seem to get stuck when you try to let yourself off the hook? Are you troubled by all the problems surrounding you, no matter how little you've contributed to them? If so, let pastor and psychologist Steven Wiese help you with what he calls the Illusion of Control.
