Dishes. Diapers. Meltdowns. Repeat.

Summer series #5 - Still Waiting on Direction? How to Hear God When You're Uncertain

Want to go deeper? Join our Gather the Gals Bible Study community for monthly bible studies, journal prompts, and encouragement: https://withme.so/gatherthegals

 

Do you need clarity? Are you confused on why God isn't answering your prayers? You’ve been praying. Asking. Waiting. Wondering.

You just want clarity, on your next move, your calling, your purpose. But it still feels foggy. In today’s episode, I’m speaking to the mom who feels uncertain. You’re seeking direction, but feel stuck in the in between.

We’ll talk about:

  • What it means to truly trust God with every decision (Proverbs 3:5–6)

  • Why journaling your questions to God can be a game changer

  • How to keep praying through every season, not just the hard ones

  • What obedience in the small things looks like when the big picture isn’t clear yet

  • Why you can release the pressure to figure it all out on your own

This is your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. And clarity doesn’t always come fast, sometimes it comes in small, steady steps of trust.

Scriptures to read:

  • Proverbs 3:5–6

  • Psalm 37:23–24

  • Jeremiah 29:11–13

  • Isaiah 30:21

Finding Rest This Summer: Trusting God will Provide in the Waiting Season

Are you in a season of waiting—feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like God is silent?

Whether you're a single mom juggling it all, a wife holding it down while your husband works out of town, or simply a woman searching for peace, rest, and purpose, this episode will encourage your soul.

 

In this episode, we’re talking about real rest—not just naps or vacations, but soul-deep stillness. For the woman who feels like she's waiting on what’s next... this one is for you.

Maybe you feel a nudge in your spirit that something is coming, but you don’t know what it is yet. The waiting feels long. The in-between is quiet. And the world keeps shouting, "Do more!" But God is whispering something different: "Come to Me, and rest."

Together, we’ll explore why it’s not only okay—but holy—to pause, to be still, and to trust God with your today, even if tomorrow still feels unclear.

Whether you're a mom who wonders if she should be doing more, or you’re just craving permission to slow down—this episode will encourage you to lean into God’s peace, rest in His presence, and believe that this season is not wasted.

In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:

  • Why God designed rest as a rhythm, not a reward

  • What to do when you feel the in-between season stretch longer than expected

  • How to trust God when the next step hasn’t been revealed

  • The truth that it’s okay to be “just” a mom—your calling is enough

  • Encouragement for women who feel behind or unsure of their purpose

Scriptures to Meditate On:

  • “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

  • “Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

  • “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15

Journal Prompts:

  • Where am I trying to rush God’s timing?

  • What does real rest look like for me in this season?

  • In what ways am I resisting stillness, and why?

  • What is one area where I can practice trusting God with today?

Are you a Single Mom? Husband Gone for work a lot? How to Trust God in the Waiting and find Beauty in the Delay.

Are you in a season of waiting—feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like God is silent?

Whether you're a single mom juggling it all, a wife holding it down while your husband works out of town, or simply a woman searching for peace, rest, and purpose, this episode will encourage your soul.

 

In today’s episode of Gather the Gals, we’re talking about:

  • How to find joy and beauty in the waiting season

  • The importance of surrendering your will for God’s perfect plan

  • Why patience isn’t punishment—but preparation

  • How God shows up in the silence and everyday moments

  • Encouragement for moms who feel like they’re carrying it all alone

Imagine being on a road trip—destination in sight but dreading the ride. The traffic, the chaos, the screaming kids. Sound familiar? In life, we often rush toward the outcome and miss the God-ordained moments along the way. But it's in the waiting that the Lord often does His most beautiful work in you.

This episode is for:

  • Christian moms overwhelmed by the demands of life

  • Women feeling spiritually dry, anxious, or weary

  • Anyone asking, “God, when will You answer my prayer?”

You’ll walk away reminded that:

  • God sees you, even in the waiting

  • He is never far from your situation

  • The hard season is producing fruit—you just might not see it yet

  • You’re growing even when you don’t feel it.

https://stan.store/gatherthegals

 

Are you a mom who feels weary, anxious, or constantly overwhelmed?

In today’s powerful episode of Gather the Gals, we're joined by Becky Thompson—bestselling author of 10 books and the heart behind the Midnight Mom Devotional, followed by millions of moms across the world. Becky shares encouragement from her newest book on rest and speaks directly to the mom who’s exhausted—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This episode is for the mom who:

  • Feels like she's carrying the weight of the world

  • Struggles with anxiety or sleepless nights

  • Is seeking peace, hope, and healing

  • May not know Jesus yet—but is ready to meet Him today

  • Wants to know what it means to find true rest in God's presence

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
  • Becky’s personal journey through motherhood and anxiety

  • A powerful invitation to find rest for your soul in Jesus

  • Encouragement for the mom who feels like she can’t keep going

  • How to surrender your stress and finally breathe again

  • A prayer for the woman who wants to say “yes” to Jesus

If you're saying:

“I can’t do this anymore.” “I’m tired of holding it all together.” “I want peace, but I don’t know how to find it…”

Then this conversation is for you.
