## Resource

Do you ever feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone's future on your shoulders? As a working Christian mom, it's easy to believe that if you can just stay organized, think ahead, and prepare for every possible outcome, you'll finally feel at peace. But the harder we try to control our circumstances, the more anxious and exhausted we often become. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about why letting go of control feels so difficult, what our anxiety may actually be revealing, and what the Bible says about trusting God when life feels uncertain. You'll discover that biblical surrender isn't about giving up or refusing to make plans. It's about faithfully doing what God has called you to do while trusting Him with the outcomes you were never meant to carry. If you've been struggling with anxiety, fear of the future, or feeling like everything depends on you, this episode will encourage you to exchange the illusion of control for the lasting peace that comes from trusting God. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why control often disguises itself as responsibility. The false sense of security that control promises. What anxiety may be revealing about your heart. What biblical surrender actually looks like. How to plan wisely without clinging to your plans. Practical ways to trust God one day at a time.
