604 // Trusting God’s Timing in the Stillness (Bible Study & Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in the stillness, God is still at work. We open up about the waves of grief that rise without warning and how God meets us right there in the middle of them — steadying our hearts with His presence and peace. Through John 12:23–26, we’re reminded that following Jesus fully means surrendering the things of this world and trusting that His timing, His plan, and His purpose are always perfect. We also continue our devotional Crushing: When God Turns Pressure into Power by T.D. Jakes with Day 4, “A Vat Full of Wait.” It’s a powerful picture of what happens after the crushing — that sacred “fermentation stage” where God refines our character, motives, and hearts before revealing what He’s been preparing all along. If you’ve been feeling like you’re in a season of waiting or transition, this episode will remind you that God hasn’t forgotten you — He’s preparing you. Nothing is wasted when surrendered to His will. 🎧 Referenced Song: “God Will Work It Out”: https://youtu.be/URuIldVKk9U?si=skdmvUj0WF0GyWNh 💌 Email: [e-mail] 📓 Book: “Crushing: When God’s Turns Pressure Into Power” By TD Jakes: https://amzn.to/4qelSrF 🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab your For the Soul guided prayer journal — created to help you stay rooted in faith and connected with God throughout the week. ➡️ Order yours today at circletimeforthesoul.com/journal As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!
