Have you ever felt stuck—like self-doubt has paralyzed you? You have ideas, goals, and dreams, but every time you try to move forward, something holds you back. I’ve been there, and let me tell you: sometimes, what feels like paralysis is actually God trying to get our attention.
A few years ago, I was working with a business strategist, full of excitement and plans for how I could serve others. Then life threw me a curveball, and I couldn’t move forward. I felt stuck, frustrated, and defeated. Fast forward to this year, and I decided to revisit those plans. But every time I sat down to work on them, I felt frozen. No progress. No clarity.
Finally, I surrendered it all to God. I prayed, asking Him to guide me instead of trying to figure it out on my own. And something amazing happened. New ideas began to flow—ideas I hadn’t even considered before. These weren’t just good ideas; they were God-ordained solutions for the season I was in. They weren’t what I had planned, but they were exactly what I needed.
This experience taught me that self-doubt often arises when we rely too much on our own understanding. James 1:6-8 reminds us to ask for wisdom in faith, without doubting. When we trust God completely, He equips us with the clarity and courage we need to move forward.
Are you feeling stuck right now? Take a moment to pause and pray. Surrender your plans to God and invite the Holy Spirit to lead you. When you release control and trust in His timing, you’ll find freedom from the weight of self-doubt.
Self-doubt isn’t the end of the story—it’s an opportunity to realign with God’s purpose. When you let Him take the lead, you’ll discover that His plans are far better than anything you could have imagined.
