In this final episode of Season 2 of Girl, Relax and Trust God, Janique is breaking down what it really means to "push through" from a biblical perspective—not the world’s version rooted in pride, ego, and hustle culture, but God’s call to endure. The world tells us to grind until we burn out, but God invites us to walk with Him in strength, guidance, and peace.

Janique explores the powerful difference between striving in our own strength versus enduring with purpose, hope, and faith. Through various stories of people in the bible including Job, Nehemiah, Mary,and Jesus, we’re reminded that spiritual endurance is rooted in obedience, trust, and God’s love—even when life doesn’t make sense.

Reference Episode: What God Showed Me This Week: S.T.O.P.P.

Key Takeaways

1. Spiritual endurance is not about proving your strength—it’s about trusting God’s.
2. Endurance is obedience over time, even when it doesn’t make sense.
3. You can’t have full control and full peace.
4. Endurance is rooted in love, guided by the Spirit, and grounded in faith.

Anchor Scripture:

Romans 5: 3 - 4 (NLT)

“3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.”

Welcome to the first installment of a new bonus series called “What God Showed Me This Week.” These are short, spirit-led reflections straight from my journal and prayer time - real moments where God is growing and stretching me. This week, He gave me a gentle but powerful reminder: STOPP—Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Pray, Proceed.

After years of overthinking and waiting for the “perfect” time to act, I have been learning how to move with God, not ahead of Him. In this episode, I’m sharing how God is shifting my pace, my posture, and my prayers—and why peace is often the confirmation we’re walking in step with His will. If you've been asking God for direction but still feel stuck, this one’s for you.

Reference Episode: S2 Ep 11: Girl, Check Your Heart Posture

Anchor Scripture:

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV)

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Homework:

Take 10-minutes to connect with God and use the STOPP framework and see how the spirit moves you.

In this episode, Girl, Shift Your Heart Posture, Janique shares a powerful lesson God revealed through her four-year-old daughter—a reminder to see beauty in the ordinary and to shift from a posture of complaint to one of awe.

Walking through Psalm 8, Janique invites you to reflect on the majesty of God, the humility of our humanity, and the divine authority we’ve been given. This is a call to pause, praise, and realign your heart with truth. Because when you shift your heart posture, you make room for peace, gratitude, and trust to take root.

Anchor Scripture:

Psalm 8:1-9 (NLT)

Key Verses 1-2 "O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you."

Homework:

Set aside 10 minutes this week—just you and God. No requests. No distractions. Just sit in stillness and speak out loud who He is. Worship him from a place of awe. Then journal that experience.
