🎧 Podcast Description – Day 313: Letting Go of Striving – Resting in What’s Already Been DoneHttps://foreveryoungcoachkj.my.canva.site/becoming-her Affirmation:“I am content in Christ. I have nothing to prove and no need to strive. His grace is enough, and so is today.”In this podcast, you will hear:how to identify the quiet ways striving sneaks into your thoughts, habits, and even your faith—and how to replace that pressure with peace. We’ll explore Jeremiah 6:16 and the “ancient path” that leads to true rest, not exhaustion. You’ll learn to recognize the difference between holy diligence and human striving—and discover that contentment begins when you stop proving and start abiding.Key Verse:“This is what the Lord says: Stand by the roadways and look. Ask about the ancient paths: Which way is the good way? Then take it and find rest for yourselves.” – Jeremiah 6:16 (CSB)Daily Practices to Let Go of Striving:​ Pause before the push. When you feel rushed or pressured, stop and whisper: “His grace is enough for this moment.”​ Simplify your yes. Ask, “Is this obedience or overextension?” Every yes should lead to peace, not depletion.​ Create a Sabbath rhythm. Protect time each week to slow down—no agenda, just presence.​ Anchor your morning. Begin your day with stillness and one truth from Scripture before checking your phone or to-do list.​ Reflect nightly. End each day naming one place where God’s grace met you instead of your striving.Verses to Meditate On:📖 Proverbs 19:23 (NIV) – “The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.”→ When reverence leads, rest follows.📖 Ecclesiastes 4:6 (NLT) – “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.”→ Peace is worth more than productivity.📖 Matthew 11:28–29 (NIV) – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.”→ Jesus offers rest, not results.📖 Psalm 46:10 (NIV) – “Be still, and know that I am God.”→ Stillness is sacred—it’s where striving ends and trust begins.Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman:The Proverbs 31 woman is diligent, but her strength is born of peace, not pressure. She works faithfully because her identity is secure in the Lord, not dependent on applause. By releasing the need to prove yourself, you are becoming her—a woman who carries quiet confidence, leads with grace, and finds rest in the One who has already finished the work.Prayer:Jesus, I surrender my striving.I release the urge to perform, prove, and perfect.Teach me to walk in rhythm with Your grace.Let rest be my strength and stillness my worship.I trust that what You’ve done is enough—and because of that, so am I.Song:🎵 “Be Still” – Hillsong WorshipClosing Encouragement:You don’t need to hustle for what Heaven has already handed you.Your worth was settled at the cross.Today, choose the good path—the quiet one marked by rest, gratitude, and grace.Because when you let go of striving, you make room for God to move.
