What if trying harder to surrender to God is actually stealing the joy from your relationship with Jesus?

You want God to guide your everyday decisions, but sometimes the pressure to pray more, listen more, and surrender more leaves you wondering whether you're doing enough. Even your time in the Bible can start feeling like just another responsibility.

In this episode, discover how to recognize when you're trying to control your relationship with God and begin enjoying the freedom of having his support.

We'll explore three simple checks to help you recognize what's getting in the way of your joy:

• The Identity Check: “Am I operating from my royal identity as a child of the King?”

• The Attitude Check: “Does my work feel like a privilege from God, or just a burden I’m expected to carry?”

• The Activity Check: “Are my actions coming from overflowing love, joy, and peace?”

You'll discover how prayer journaling can help you recognize where you're seeking satisfaction, bring your deeper needs to Jesus, and experience a more natural, peace-filled relationship with him.
