The Real Reason You Feel Stuck (It’s Not What You Think)

Trying harder may be the very thing keeping you stuck.
In today’s 5-minute devotional, discover why freedom begins when control ends.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:3 reveal that blessing begins when we honestly recognise our need for God. This devotional explores why the same habits, fears, and mistakes keep repeating when we rely only on willpower. Rob shares how change often starts not with more effort, but with surrender. You’ll be invited to loosen your grip, bring your need to God, and trust His grace to do what your strength never could.
