== Internal vs. external locus of control ==
According to Kendra Cherry, MSEd:
{{Cquote|If you believe that you have control over what happens, you have what psychologists refer to as an internal locus of control. If you believe that you have no control over what happens and that external variables are to blame, you have what is known as an external locus of control.5
It is important to note that locus of control is a continuum. No one has a 100% external or internal locus of control. Instead, most people lie somewhere on the continuum between the two extremes.<ref>[https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-locus-of-control-2795434 Locus of Control and Your Life]</ref>}
[[Christianity]] teaches the sovereignty of God, but it also teaches that one has [[free will]] and that Christians are co-labors with God (1 Corinthians 3:9).
