God Waits for Us To Invite Him In

Welcome back everyone! I'm your host, Jill Simons, and today we're diving into a brand new month with an inspiring declaration designed to help us prepare our hearts and minds to receive the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Have you ever felt like other Christians seem to have more joy, kindness, and self-control than you do? You're not alone, and this podcast is here to guide you on becoming free for the fruit. In this episode, we explore the profound impact of inviting God into our lives fully and allowing Him to take charge. For this month's theme, we have tailored declarations for both kids and adults. For kids: "If I let God be in charge, He'll take care of everything." For adults: "When I lay down my worry and hurry, I give Jesus space to show up for me." Join me as I share personal stories and insights about surrendering our worries and the transformative power it has on our lives. Plus, I'll talk about a practice I've incorporated—fasting from worry, especially during travel—and the amazing outcomes it has led to. We'll also discuss practical steps to teach our children to let go of worry and hurry. Stay tuned for an episode filled with encouragement, real-life examples, and actionable tips on creating space for God's work in your life. Let's get started!
