Notes and Quotes: “That moment made me want to pursue a God who wouldn’t change His mind even when I wanted Him to. Even when I tried to do what I thought was the worst things I could ever do to disqualify Him from calling me.” —Brenda Palmer “When you are high achieving, rest feels like a betrayal to the assignment.” —Brenda Palmer “There is a level of patience that comes with desperation. When I don’t have another option but to sit and wait—even if I feel like I’m not hearing—I can still sense that He’s here. I’m not getting any answers or relief but there’s a trust that I have in the God He’s been that gives me the capacity to wait when I feel like He’s not saying anything.” —Brenda Palmer “To bring Him into it [your situation] is saying ‘whatever you decide, whatever you think is best, could you condition my heart to be okay with that?’ Because if not, it’s still a place of entitlement.” —Brenda Palmer Verses: Psalm 139 Matthew 6:25-34 Proverbs 3:5-6 1 Corinthians 1:9 Related Episodes: GHH Ep 95 - God’s Good Plans with Teresa Swanstrom Anderson: GHH Ep 169 - Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: Links: God Hears Her website:
