In a world where disappointment with others often steals our peace, the 'Let Them' approach offers a biblical solution. Based on Paul's teaching to take every thought captive, this method acknowledges we cannot control others' actions. When faced with frustrating situations, we first say 'Let them' to create emotional space, then 'Let me' to process our own feelings according to our values. This two-step approach helps us maintain peace by focusing on what we can control rather than what we cannot. It's essentially a modern application of the ancient biblical principle of filtering our thoughts through Christ's perspective.
“Don’t let society control you. Don’t let your social media algorithms, don’t let your defense mechanisms. Take every thought, emotion, desire captive and hold it to your faith and your values, your identity.”
