Needed to hear this today, what a gift. My heart is longing for that Plan B, begging for a next step. But in reality, my next step is one of faith. Trusting that His goodness will see me though.

Oh man I didn't really realise I was this type of person until you wrote it down and I read the words. I will happily take it to God in prayer but then have a busy, anxious mind trying to solve all the problems myself. You are right! I need to have faith that just leaves it with God. It reminds me of a song I love: the Gospel is Rest by Elias Dummer ✨

I needed to read this so bad and didn’t realize it until today! I’m a problem solver, I love to fix things and have solutions and work hard enough so that everything will be okay... but that doesn’t work. Been in a season of things not adding up and having to trust God because try as I might there is no plan B. Thank you for sharing what this season of life is teaching you 🫶🏻❤️

This spoke to my heart beautifully, friend! So interesting, I’d been working on a draft of something where I talk about my preparedness that’s so similar to yours -- my “safety net” against pain. I’ve also been wrestling a lot lately with realizing the idolatry I practice. I want to say it’s accidental, but it’s really hit me this week that certain things I do are wild attempts or beliefs that I am God, that I am in control. Your writing is a wonderful message for that!
