What if you could allow the inner peace + clarity that’s been lying dormant within you, to rise up? What would life look like operating from the truth that God has placed everything inside of you that you need in this moment?
You see, when we allow worry to dominate our thoughts and actions, it often leads to unnecessary stress and distraction. However, when we put God at the center, we acknowledge His control over all situations, bringing peace and confidence, knowing that He is in charge.

Sometimes we surrender problems or concerns to God, only to later take them back when things don’t unfold as expected or when patience runs thin. Without an unshakeable connection with God, there is a tension between trust and control—trusting God with the situation but sometimes feeling the urge to “fix” things ourselves when outcomes are delayed or don’t meet our expectations.
It’s important not only to truly let go + trust in God’s timing and plan, but also to ensure our thoughts + emotions + behaviors are a match for God’s higher plan for our life. Inadvertently, we can limit what God can do in our life because limited thoughts can equate limited faith. And faith shows God that we trust in Him…and that we can be trusted just the same.
Sometimes, when we take back the concern we gave to God, God will step back and patiently wait for us to return to Him. The result? We rely on our own understanding + we assume God isn’t listening, but really it’s us who isn’t listening. God’s ways are higher than our ways and His plan is always better than ours.
It’s about shifting from a mindset of self-reliance to a mindset of God-reliance. Many people look to things or people for things that can only be given by God and settle for “microwave/quick-fix mindsets” – but they don’t last and soon they are right back to where they were- worrying about the next thing.
As the saying goes, “You will continue to cycle between fear-surprise-fear-surprise until you reach a point of prayer that says you lead and I follow”.
When we align our hearts and minds with His will + seek God through prayer, reflection, and trusting His guidance, we begin to see ourselves more clearly, free from the distortions of our own expectations, fears, or desires. That’s when worry is edged out by God’s peace.
It’s completely natural to feel discouraged at times, especially when you’ve been wrestling with the same struggles for a long time and haven’t seen the change you hoped for. The feeling of “I’ve always been this way” can create a sense of hopelessness. But it’s important to remember that God’s ways of working in our lives aren’t always immediate or according to our timeline.

The peace that God offers is truly transformative. It’s often described in scripture as a peace “that passes all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). It’s not based on circumstances, but on the reassurance that God is always present, in control, and deeply cares for us. This divine peace doesn’t just provide comfort in times of calm, but also gives strength during trials, offering rest to our minds and hearts.
When we trust in God’s presence and His promises, His peace settles in, helping us navigate the storms of life with a sense of tranquility and confidence. It’s a peace that guards our hearts and minds, reminding us that we are never alone, no matter what we face.
God’s Faithfulness Won’t Change
Just because we don’t see immediate results doesn’t mean that God is not at work. Sometimes we can become frustrated with the process. Yet, “the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3). God doesn’t abandon us in our struggles, even when it feels like things haven’t changed. Trusting that He is faithful in every moment helps to carry us through the periods of waiting.
It’s About the Journey, Not Just the Outcome
Change is often not just about the end result, but also about the person we become in the process. Sometimes God uses the waiting to teach us perseverance, patience, and deeper trust. Through the struggle, we may learn to rely on Him more fully, which is a greater victory than just the external change we’re looking for.
Keep Coming to God
The act of bringing your struggles to God, even when it feels like nothing has changed, is powerful. In Romans 12:12, we are encouraged to “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” The consistency of coming before God—whether or not we see immediate change—develops a deeper relationship with Him and builds our faith.
Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and God is with you every step of the way, even when it feels like you’re stuck. The fact that you’re still trying, still praying, still seeking, is part of the victory itself. God is always working, even in ways we may not yet understand.
