The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast - "Grasping for Guarantees" With Lysa TerKeurst
Sometimes the hardest part of trusting God isn’t believing that He has a plan ... It’s wondering whether His plan will be anything like the one we hoped for. In this episode, Lysa TerKeurst shares the first chapter of her new book, Making Peace with What I Can’t Control, and names a fear many of us may be carrying: What if God allows something I don’t know how to live with? Listen in to discover how to trust God when you don’t have the answers and how releasing the need to know what happens next can actually create a deeper relationship with Him.
You’ll Learn:
- The difference between relying on God and trying to create the certainty we wish we had.
- Why bringing our honest questions, fears, and doubts to the Lord can draw us closer to Him even if we don't get the outcome we're praying for.
- What it looks like to live with uncertainty without immediately trying to solve, fix, or explain it.
