Do you struggle to surrender control to God, even though you KNOW you should trust Him?

In this honest, relatable, Scripture-based Christian message for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) explores why we struggle so much with control, what surrender to Jesus Christ REALLY means, and how to trust God when life doesn't go according to plan.

Maybe you've prayed for something to change... but nothing has changed.

Maybe you're trying to hold everything together because you're afraid of what might happen if you let go.

Or maybe you SAY you trust God... but only as long as things go according to YOUR plans!My sister, surrendering to God doesn't mean giving up. It's trusting Him enough to stop fighting for control!

Through real-life examples, biblical accounts, and a little humor, we'll discover why being independent doesn't mean being self-sufficient, and why surrendering to God isn't a sign of weakness.

Struggling with fear, anxiety, constant worrying, or spiritual warfare? This Christian message for women looks at what Scripture says about overcoming fear with God and why anxiety does not have to control your life.

After living with fear for long enough, it can start sounding less like something you struggle with... and more like who you are.

But what if fear is not your identity?What if there’s something important about fear that you’ve been missing?

Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) goes straight to Scripture to explore where fear entered the picture, what God has given us to fight it, and why Jesus tells us not to worry even when the things we’re afraid of are very real.

If God didn’t give us a spirit of fear...where is it coming from?

And more importantly...what are we supposed to do about it?

Because God did not give you a spirit of fear.And fear does not get to lead your life!

Stay until the end for a declaration and prayer as we bring fear, anxiety, our future, our loved ones, our health, and the things we cannot control back to God.
