29 | God May Move the Mountain, But Don’t Be Surprised If He Hands You a Shovel

Do you ever pray for God to help you… and then feel frustrated when nothing changes? You ask God to fix the situation, change the person, remove the obstacle—and instead of an instant solution, you’re handed responsibility. In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re talking about a tension we see all throughout Scripture: God is powerful. God is faithful. God moves. But He often invites us to move too. This isn’t about earning God’s help or forcing His hand. It’s about understanding how obedience, trust, and movement often go hand in hand with God’s work in our lives. We’re looking at real stories from the Bible where God did the impossible—but people still had to take a step of faith. You’ll learn: ✨ Why trusting God doesn’t always mean standing still ✨ Biblical examples where God made a way, but people still had to move ✨ How obedience plays a role without turning faith into performance ✨ Why waiting for clarity or confidence can keep us stuck ✨ What it looks like to take the next step—even when it feels uncomfortable This episode is for anyone who feels stuck waiting on God, wondering why help hasn’t come yet, or wrestling with the tension between prayer and action. It’s a reminder that God is not distant or withholding—He’s often inviting us into the process. 📚 Resources Mentioned 🛒Simple Daily Faith - Scripture Verse Cards & Sugar Scrubs 🛒 My favorite Things → Amazon Storefront 📚 Get on the Waitlist for the "How to Study the Bible" Course 💌 Connect With Me 📧 Email → [email protected] 🎙️ Podcast → Peace Over Perfection on Apple Podcasts 📸 Instagram → @susan.shropshire 🎵 TikTok → @susanshropshire
