Sometimes God gives us a clear next step and calls us to act. Other times, our need to “figure it all out” steals our peace. Instead of relying on God, we default to striving, hustling, and people-pleasing, asking what builds our kingdom rather than God’s. But what if we paused to pray and seek wise counsel? It may feel counterintuitive to let go of constant productivity, yet the more we say yes to God’s ways, the more peace we find, even when we produce less. In Jesus, we find abundant life.
