Feeling Out of Control? How to Practice Surrender and Hear God’s Voice in Transition Seasons | 47

This is Part 5 of our Journaling Through Seasons of Transition Series!

One of the hardest parts of a transition or wilderness season is the loss of control. We have an outcome we hope for, and surrendering that future to God can feel terrifying. How do we move forward in faith when we don’t know what’s coming next?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to fight for a posture of surrender during seasons of transition. If you’re struggling with discernment, feeling stuck in fear, or unsure how to hear God’s voice clearly right now, this conversation will offer biblical encouragement and practical next steps.

Using the story of the Israelites and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about humility, trust, and daily surrender. I’ll also walk you through specific journal prompts to help you process your fears honestly, strengthen your faith, and rest in God’s promises as you move forward.

If you’ve been asking:

• How do I trust God when the future feels overwhelming?

• What does surrender actually look like in real life?

• How can journaling help me grow in discernment and hear God’s voice?

This episode will give you both spiritual grounding and practical tools to help you follow God with confidence.
