In this episode, Janique continues the conversation from last week’s episode, Girl, Be Still. Today's focus is on deepening the practice of surrendering to God, especially in a world full of distractions.

Janique highlights how fear and the desire for control often prevent us from fully surrendering, leading to stress and overwhelm. She draws inspiration from Mark 4:35-36, where Jesus leaves the crowd behind, emphasizing the importance of retreating from distractions in order to reconnect with God.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it's so hard to surrender and how fear plays a role in holding on to control
• The importance of leaving behind the noise—whether it's social media, work, or our own overthinking
• The simple but powerful STOP framework (Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Pray, Proceed) for eliminating distractions and focusing on God’s Word

Janique walks us through each step of the STOP framework, offering practical advice on how to pause, take deep breaths, observe our thoughts and feelings, and pray scripture over our circumstances. With this framework, you’ll find yourself better equipped to let go of stress and trust in God’s plan.

Key Takeaways:

• Surrendering to God requires stepping away from the noise and creating space for Him to speak into our lives.
• You can’t hide from God, and being honest with Him about your struggles will lift the burdens you carry.
• The STOP framework is a practical, faith-based tool for managing overwhelm and staying connected to God’s peace.
