Episode 147: Permission to Stop Trying So Hard

 

Permission to Stop Trying So Hard

Is there something holding you back? If so, it might not be what you think it is. Whether you already know what you want in life—or you’re still looking at all the possibilities—if you’re not where you’d like to be, consider this: you may actually be trying too hard. Some of us have spent a lifetime striving to make things happen in our own strength. We wear ourselves out jockeying for position, stressing about where we’ll get the money we need, or obsessing over making relationships into what we want them to be. But God didn’t create us to carry these burdens. He’s got a better way for us—waiting on him to make a way. We have each been given a God-given purpose, dream, and destiny, but these can only come to pass through God’s strength on the inside of us—not our own efforts and will power. This episode will empower you to let go of the self-imposed pressure to make things happen in your life, learn how to wait for God’s power to work through you, and allow him to lead you into the amazing purpose, passion, and destiny he has for you.

 

You Don’t Have Make a Way, Because God Will

It’s exhausting trying to figure life out all out on our own. And it’s not necessary. When you relax and let God lead, he energizes you, prepares you, and gets you to the places you need to go. He opens doors that no man can shut. He’ll have things for you to do along the way, but you won’t know what those things are unless you wait for him to let you know! 

 

This episode will equip you to:

  • Prepare for the Holy Spirit to strengthen you as you wait on God
  • Assume a posture of expectancy and hope that will sustain you while you wait
  • Examine your attitudes and beliefs to root out those that are holding you back
  • Exchange self-imposed pressure to perform for a life of freedom, trusting God to fulfill every promise he has for your life
