Trusting God Instead of Striving: 😅 How to Replace the Hustle with Clarity

You’re doing all the things. Praying, thinking, journaling, hustling. Trying to piece together what God is saying.

But can I ask you something?

Are you striving for clarity… or trusting God’s timing?

And if I’m being honest? Some days, I find myself doing the same. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Even right now, as I build this business—one I know God has led me into—I catch myself overthinking.

🤗 I want to perfect every detail.

😊 I want to experience breakthrough for every client.

🧐 I want every social post to inspire.

🥴 Every email to connect.

😵‍💫 Every step to feel certain before I take it.

But here’s what I know (and need to remind myself daily):

God’s direction isn’t something we hustle for—it’s something we step into, one trust-filled move at a time.

Jesus Faced These Same Pressures Too 👀

👉🏼 Jesus was constantly pulled in different directions. People always wanted something from Him—healing, wisdom, miracles. Yet, He still prioritized time alone with the Father. (Luke 5:15-16)

👉🏿 He faced pressure to prove Himself. The enemy tempted Him to perform—to turn stones into bread, jump from the temple, or take an easier path. But He didn’t hustle for validation. (Matthew 4:1-11)

👉🏾 He didn’t heal every person in every town. Even when crowds begged for more, Jesus moved on when the Father led Him elsewhere. He didn’t let guilt or people’s expectations dictate His direction. (Mark 1:35-38)

👉🏻 He set boundaries—even with those closest to Him. He walked away from crowds, rested when needed, and wasn’t afraid to say no, even when others didn’t understand. (Matthew 14:22-23)

👉 He didn’t let fear stop Him. He stepped into His calling knowing rejection, suffering, and misunderstanding were ahead. His obedience wasn’t based on how He felt, but on who He trusted. (John 6:66-69)

God’s will isn’t something you grind your way into. It’s something you walk out with Him.

The clarity you’re craving will come through trusting God instead of striving. When you slow down and align your pace with Him, you’ll find peace in the process—not pressure.

So if you’re exhausted from trying to figure it all out, let me remind you:

🚪 Doors don’t open because you push harder.

🙏🏼 Breakthrough doesn’t come from stressing over the details.

🌊 God moves when we move in faith—not fear.

I’m praying over you today—over your decisions, your next steps, and the peace that comes when you move with Him instead of striving on your own.

And since I’m asking you to take a step, here’s mine:

Today, I’m trusting God by launching my new Webinar—before I feel fully ready. 🫣

Everything in me wants to tweak it just a little more, make it just a little better—but I know that waiting for perfection will only keep me stuck. So I’m stepping out, trusting that God will meet me in the action.

It’s stretching me, but I know He’s faithful.

So… what’s your step today? Hit reply and tell me—I’d love to cheer you on!

With you,
