Growing Through It
Welcome to the "Growing Through It" podcast, where your host, Lyla Anne, is dedicated to guiding listeners towards a deeper connection with God. More than just a title, "Growing Through It" is an understanding that every experience we endure is purposeful. We firmly believe that in the eyes of the Lord, nothing is without meaning or value.
Grounded in the teachings of the Word, this podcast aims to accompany listeners whether they're new to their faith journey or have walked this path for years. Whether you're experiencing life's highs and lows or simply navigating through the routines of everyday life, what matters most to us is that Jesus is leading the way for you.
For those seeking to deepen their connection with God yet feeling uncertain about where or how to begin, this podcast was made just for you. Let’s grow through it together.
Growing Through It
Stop Trying to Control What God Already Promised
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some of us feel like we’re “waiting on God”…
but if we’re honest, we’re also trying to help Him make sure that dream happens.
You’re watching people get the job, the house, the engagement, the marriage, or the very thing you felt like God promised you, while your own life feels slow, unclear, or like it’s not moving at all.
So you start thinking maybe you need to do more,
say more, fix more, plan better, be better.
Maybe if you send the text.
Maybe if you don’t miss the opportunity.
Maybe if you just try a little harder… things will finally fall into place.
And on the outside, it looks like you’re being proactive,
but on the inside, it feels like pressure… like if you don’t hold it all together, it might not happen.
I’ve been there too.
In this episode, we’re talking about control and the difference between waiting and interfering, and how control can secretly take over even when you genuinely love God and want to trust Him.
Because surrender isn’t just about what we say, it’s about what we do when nothing is happening, when the timeline doesn’t make sense, and when everyone else seems to be moving ahead.
If you’ve been feeling behind, anxious about your future, or like you have to make something happen before it’s “too late”… this is for you.
Because surrendering it to Him is always better.
