Sometimes trusting God is hardest…

not with our own lives…

but with the people we love.

The child we worry about.

The spouse carrying something heavy.

The friend in a difficult season.

The parent struggling.

The person we pray for over and over again.

In this episode of Rooted + Rested, we’re talking about what it means to release control, surrender outcomes, and trust God with those who weigh heavily on our hearts.

Together we reflect on:

💜 trusting God with the people you love 💜 praying instead of carrying anxiety 💜 releasing fear and outcomes to God 💜 finding peace in uncertain seasons 💜 learning to love deeply without carrying everything

This episode includes Scripture reflections from:

• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” • Philippians 4:6 — bringing requests to God through prayer instead of worry

You’ll also hear a gentle lavender reflection on tending faithfully without carrying every outcome — something God has been teaching me through difficult seasons in the lavender field.

This week’s reminder:

💜 You were never meant to carry everyone. 💜 Place the people you love back into God’s hands.

I also created a free printable with this week’s Scriptures and encouragements.
