Have you ever felt the weight of responsibility pulling you away from your spiritual foundation? That's exactly where I found myself this week amidst the chaos of final exams and end-of-semester stress. 

What started as a simple trip to the store transformed into a profound spiritual encounter when a thought pierced through my busy mind: "Just as you're picking those items, that's how I am picking you for a purpose." The unexpectedness of this divine whisper brought me to tears, forcing me to confront how I'd been pushing God to the periphery of my life while trying to maintain control over my circumstances.

Through tears and confession, I reconnected with a fundamental truth that many of us struggle to embrace – God doesn't want us carrying our burdens alone. He longs for us to surrender control of our finances, mental health, academics, and relationships to Him. Jeremiah 33:3 came alive for me: a reminder that when we call on Him, He promises to answer and reveal things beyond our understanding. 

This raw, unfiltered episode is shorter than usual but comes straight from my heart during a challenging season. If you're feeling burnt out, frustrated, or disconnected from your faith, this message is for you. Let's learn together how to stop taking matters out of God's hands and instead run to His heart rather than hiding in our problems. Subscribe to join me on this journey of discovering what it truly means to trust in His understanding rather than our own.
