What’s Still Yours to Do? Trusting God, Responsibility, and Your Feelings

Christian Almanac: Where faith meets real life with Jacquelyn Lynn. You can trust God without giving away your responsibility. This episode offers a practical way to separate what belongs to you from what doesn’t—whether you’re dealing with work, decisions, limitations, relationships, or strong emotions. In Trust God. Do Your Part., Jacquelyn looks at the difference between surrender and resignation. Trusting God does not mean becoming passive. We can prepare, plan, work, make decisions, protect our time, respect our limitations, and rest—while recognizing that we never controlled the outcome in the first place. Then in When Your Feelings Don’t Tell the Whole Story, she looks at another part of life we need to handle wisely. Feelings are real and important, but they don’t always give us an accurate picture of what happened or tell us what we should do next. You’ll learn how to: • Do what is yours to do without trying to control everything • Treat time, energy, attention, rest, and limitations as matters of stewardship • Recognize the difference between surrender and resignation • Separate facts from assumptions when emotions are strong • Let feelings provide information without allowing them to dictate your response • Decide when a situation requires action, a boundary, acceptance, or letting go In this episode: 00:00 Opening 00:10 Segment 1: Trust God.
