When You Feel Squirrely: Show Up Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

Scripture of the Day:
“The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” – Matthew 26:41 (KJV)

Episode Summary:
Some mornings, your heart wants to be faithful, but your mind is all over the place. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I call my “squirrely” moments—those times when I feel scattered, distracted, and tempted to ditch the good habits God has given me.

You’ll hear how I’ve learned to pause, ask myself honest questions, and take the next small step instead of chasing something new. This episode is a gentle reminder that faithfulness isn’t about motivation. It’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.

Faith-Filled Habit Focus:
Show up even when you don’t feel like it. That’s how faithfulness is built—not in the big, exciting moments, but in the quiet, ordinary ones.

Reflection Prompt:
Is there a habit or project you’ve been tempted to give up on?
Ask yourself:
– What’s making it feel hard?
– What’s one small step I could take instead of giving up?
– What truth do I need to anchor my mind in today?
