Surrender Your Striving: How Comparison, Complaining, and Control Keep Us Stuck

In this episode of WRAP Yourself in the Word, Joni explores what it means to surrender striving by uncovering how comparison, complaining, and commiserating reveal a restless heart that is not fully trusting God. Drawing from Scripture and Chapter 11 of WRAP Yourself in the Word, she explains how awareness, repentance, and obedience lead us out of self-reliance and into spiritual renewal. This episode invites listeners to exchange striving for surrender and prepare their hearts for a life of abiding in God’s presence.
