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. What are you ready to release today?
