Why is it Harder To Trust God with Others?

Have you ever found it easy to trust God with your own life, but struggle deeply when it comes to trusting Him with the people you love? You're not alone. In this compelling episode of Free for the Fruit, host Jill Simons delves into one of the most challenging aspects of faith—releasing our grip on the lives of others and truly entrusting them to God's care.

Jill shares personal insights and brings a profound understanding of how our love for others often complicates our faith journey. She explains how trusting God with the well-being of our spouses, children, and closest friends can sometimes feel more daunting than trusting Him with our own futures. It's one thing to believe God has our backs; it's another to relinquish control over those we hold dear.

Listeners will find solace and practical guidance in Jill’s reflections, especially as she discusses the balance parents must strike between being responsible caregivers and letting God take the reins. Jill brings in illustrative examples from the Bible and lives of the saints, including the poignant story of Saint Monica and Saint Augustine, to show how trusting in divine providence can lead to unexpected, transformative outcomes.

The episode also explores what it means to be obedient to God's will in different seasons of life and how we can practice trust through prayer, fasting, and surrender. Whether you're a parent, spouse, or concerned friend, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom on navigating the intricacies of faith in complicated relationships.
