Ever felt stuck waiting on God’s direction, wrestling with decisions, or worrying you might be missing His voice? You’re not alone. Today’s devotional reminds us that discovering God’s will isn’t about striving harder — it’s about surrendering deeper.
Did you know that today's host, Jennifer Slattery, has a podcast of her own? Check out Faith Over Fear, where Jennifer helps us see different areas of life where fear has a foothold, and how our identity as children of God can help us move from fear to faithful, bold living.
✨ Key Takeaways
💡 A pure, surrendered heart hears God more clearly than one tangled in pride, fear, or self-reliance
💡 Whole-self worship means offering our time, emotions, resources, and decisions to God in view of His mercy
💡 Trust grows when we reflect on God’s radical love revealed through the cross — the more we remember, the more freely we surrender
💡 There’s a cause-and-effect relationship: when we offer ourselves fully to God, we position ourselves to discern His good, pleasing, and perfect will
💡 It’s not about perfect trust, but about moving closer to Jesus daily, letting His love quiet our fears and guide our hearts
