36. Feeling Anxious and Out of Control? How to Trust God’s Plan When You Want Answers Now
from Faith Over Anxiety for Moms · host Rachel Cross – Christian Anxiety Coach
Do you ever feel like your anxiety gets worse when life does not go according to your plan? Are you tired of trying to control every outcome, timeline, and what-if in your mind? What if peace begins with one small step of obedience instead of having the whole situation figured out? In this episode, I’m sharing the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 so you can learn how to release control, trust God’s process, and take the next small faithful step when life feels uncertain. Naaman came to God needing healing, but the answer did not look the way he expected. Instead of a big dramatic moment, he was given a simple instruction: wash in the Jordan River seven times. His story reminds us that God’s way may not always match our expectations, but His way is still good, purposeful, and trustworthy. If you have been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or frustrated because God’s answer does not look like what you imagined, this episode will encourage you to stop clinging to control and start trusting the Provider more than the problem.
