Listen "Surrendering Control To Find True Satisfaction"
Episode Synopsis
When effort runs dry and answers don’t come, what if hunger for God’s help is actually the doorway to real satisfaction? In this episode, I share a vulnerable story from early motherhood—long nights, every remedy tried, and a tiny tube that revealed my need to control. The breakthrough didn’t come through effort, but through surrender—a quiet cry for help that became a holy moment of being met, guided, and steadied.Together we sit with Jesus’ promise in Matthew 5:6—“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” We explore what it means to seek God Himself rather than just outcomes, and how dependence, though risky, can lead to a deeper peace. Scriptures like Psalm 63:1, Jeremiah 29:13, and Isaiah 58:11 help anchor us as we talk about releasing control—in parenting, work, and relationships—and learning to pray without a backup plan.I close with a poem, “As I Release You,” a simple liturgy for anyone ready to lay down self-reliance and rest in grace. If you’re tired of spinning and striving, I hope this conversation feels like an open door to guidance, courage, and a well-watered soul.If it speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a short review so others can find it too.
