What if some of the movement in your life isn’t coming from clarity, but discomfort? What if your speed is misguided restlessness because you want to avoid discomfort?
I’ve been realizing how quickly I create motion when something feels uncertain. A conversation feels off. A decision remains unclear. A prayer goes unanswered. And almost immediately, I want to do something.
Research more. Think harder. Analyze every angle. Rehearse conversations. Make another plan.
Not because I know what comes next, but because motion feels better than tension.
If I’m planning, fixing, predicting, or solving, it feels like I’m influencing the outcome. It feels productive. Responsible. Wise.
But often I’m not actually searching for wisdom. I’m searching for relief.
Relief from not knowing.
Relief from waiting.
Relief from feeling out of control.
And sometimes relief looks a lot like activity.
One question has been helping me lately: What is actually mine to do today?
Like WRITE IT DOWN! Help yourself get out of your own head.
Because I’ve discovered how many responsibilities I quietly carry that God never assigned to me:
• Managing someone else’s mood.
• Controlling how people perceive me.
• Making sure everyone understands me.
• Predicting outcomes.
• Preventing disappointment.
• Forcing clarity God hasn’t given.
• Fixing everyone’s emotions.
• Carrying tomorrow today.
None of those things are my assignment.
My assignment is faithfulness. Obedience. The next right step.
God’s assignment is outcomes. Timing. Everything I cannot see.
Peace rarely returns when I finally figure everything out. It returns when I stop trying to do God’s job and become faithful to mine.
Because sometimes what feels like wisdom is really an attempt to regain control.
And sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is stop manufacturing motion, stay where our feet are, and trust God with what remains unanswered.
Peace returns when we stop confusing movement with trust.
