Letting Go of Control: Trusting God in the Waiting
Saint John Alive by St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish
Episode notes
In this episode of Saint John Alive, we continue our Lenten series on Finding Inner Peace by talking about the struggle to surrender control and trust God’s timing. Sometimes the hardest part of the spiritual life isn’t doing something—it’s waiting, letting go, and believing that God's plan is unfolding even when we can't see it. Through honest reflections, our guests share how learning to accept uncertainty and resist the urge to "fix" everything opens the door to deeper peace and freedom.
If you’ve ever wrestled with impatience, anxiety, or the need to know what’s next, this conversation offers encouragement to rest in God's faithfulness.
