I felt called to share this today. Maybe it’s for someone else, but I think it’s also a reminder I needed myself.
I’ve been learning a lot about surrendering to God, especially in business. I know God gave me a calling to help people. He’s given me gifts, opportunities, and has been incredibly fruitful with the work I’ve put in. Truly I’m so blessed. But I’ve also realized how easy it is to say you trust God while trying to control every single outcome yourself…
I don’t believe God wants us living in constant fear, misery, or feeling like we’re destined to struggle. I believe He wants us to be good stewards of what He’s given us. John 10:10, where Jesus says He came so that we may have life, and have it abundantly. And I don’t interpret that as God promising wealth, a successful business, perfect health, or a life without hardship. But I do believe He gave us gifts to use, a purpose to pursue, and a spirit of power rather than fear (2 Timothy 1:7).
I think about this so much with the women I work with. Women who have been through years of pain, disappointment, and failed attempts to get better. It’s almost easier to believe that this is just the life you’ve been dealt than to put yourself out there and risk being disappointed again. But I also wonder how often we pray for change while allowing the fear of what happened in the past to make decisions about our future.
Surrendering to God doesn’t mean surrendering to your circumstances. It doesn’t mean sitting back, doing nothing, and hoping life magically changes. It means being faithful with what’s in front of you, taking responsibility for what you can control, and trusting Him with what you can’t.
God never promised that following Him would be easy or that every decision would work out the way we hoped. But I don’t want to spend my life asking Him for direction and then being too afraid to walk when a door opens.
Maybe that’s the reminder for both of us: You can be grateful for everything God has already done in your life and still feel called toward something more.
Surrender the outcome. Not the responsibility to still show up. 🤍
