Manipulation Related Video Others tell me I have a controlling personality They say I try to manipulate people around me. How can I know if what they tell me is true, and if it is, how do I change? Cutting the Strings of Control You probably don't see yourself as being "power-hungry," but power plays an intimate role in each of our lives. We all have a need to control our circumstances.  In childhood, we throw tantrums to get our way. By adulthood, we've mastered the art of manipulation. In fact, you could be a manipulator, or the one being manipulated, and not even realize it! Manipulation isn't wrong only because it's dishonest and selfish. Manipulation happens when humans take control of their own circumstances in order to have their needs met. We're not designed to meet our own needs. Only God can do that. He's designed your heart to need Him. He's made the world to thrive under His power. Trust the One who directs the birds' song, commands the seas, and knows the stars by name. Ask Him to help you surrender your heart. With your life in His hands instead of your own, you'll find lasting security.
