Finding Peace in Surrendering Control

from Made for Impact · host Petia Kolibova

In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I’ve learned—releasing control and trusting God completely.     As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we’ll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead.     In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God’s will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give.     Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn’t clear. This isn’t about giving up—it’s about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.     💡 Key Takeaways True peace begins where control ends. Faith, not perfection, is the foundation of a fulfilling life. Releasing control allows God’s guidance to take root. The Bible teaches us to prioritize eternal impact over temporary success. Self-love grows when we trust in divine timing and grace.   🙏 Action Steps Reflect on one area of your life where you’re holding too tightly—pray for strength to release it. Replace one daily goal focused on “doing” with a moment of prayer or Scripture reading. Journal about what control means to you and how faith can reshape that relationship. Focus on one person you can bless today through love or encouragement. End your day by thanking God for leading, even when you can’t see the full picture.     Resources & Links Follow Petia on Instagram: @petiakolibova • Listen to more episodes of Made for Impact on Apple Podcasts or your favorite app
