If My People: Pride That Blocks Healing

If My People: When God Asks Us to Bow

In this episode Linda continues Phase 2 — Surrender — reflecting on 2 Chronicles 7:14 and what it means to bow before God. Using Jesus' prayer in the Garden as the model, she explores how surrender is an act of trust, not the absence of struggle, and how bowing reshapes our hearts more than it removes our value. Listen for gentle prompts to examine where you’re holding on, take practical steps to set aside quiet time with God, and learn to place your plans, fears, and understanding into His hands. A short prayer and reflection guide close the episode with encouragement to trust God’s good purposes.   Cylinder Six by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/cylinders/ Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com

As we continue in Phase 2: Surrender, we reflect on what it means to release our need for control and place our trust fully in God.
