Are You Pointing the Finger at God?
from The Becoming Her Podcast with Jessica Young · host Jessica Young
Lately I've been stuck on a question that has completely challenged me:Are my hands open to God... or are they pointing fingers at Him?When life doesn't go the way we planned, it's so easy to start asking, "God, where were You?" or "Why did You let this happen?" And while I believe God can absolutely handle our questions, I also think it's worth asking ourselves what posture we're bringing to Him in those moments.In this episode, we're talking about the difference between bringing our pain to God and blaming Him, why disappointment can quietly change the posture of our hearts, and what it really looks like to trust God when we don't understand what He's doing.We'll also look at Martha and Mary's different approaches to Jesus, one of the most honest prayers in Scripture—"I believe; help my unbelief"—and why God isn't asking us to have perfect faith. He's simply inviting us to keep coming to Him with open hands.Because maybe the greatest obstacle isn't that God isn't speaking.Maybe it's that our hearts have become too closed to receive what He's trying to show us.In this episode, we talk about:• the difference between questioning God and blaming Him• how disappointment can change the posture of your heart• what Martha and Mary teach us about approaching Jesus• why trust begins where understanding ends• how to keep your hands open to God, even in difficult seasonsIf you've been disappointed, confused, waiting on God, or struggling to understand what He's doing in your life, I hope this conversation reminds you that God isn't asking you to have all the answers.He's inviting you to keep coming to Him.Reflection Question:If you were honest today... what posture have you been bringing to God?If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder.And if you're working on your faith, your mindset, and becoming the woman God created you to be, make sure you're following The Becoming Her Podcast.Support the showIf this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it.And if you’re working on your faith, your mindset, and becoming the woman God created you to be, make sure you follow The Becoming Her Podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next.For more, connect with me on social media @jessica_young09💡 If you’re ready to go deeper and start building real confidence and discipline in your life, you can apply for coaching here: https://forms.gle/DpeuFgd9pusyYoe58Join my FREE online Bible Study: https://www.skool.com/rooted-in-the-word-4259/about
