Is God Tired of Hearing the Same Worry?

Episode Overview

  • God invites repeated worries to be brought to Him, even when they feel like the same issue again and again.
  • Living in maintenance mode keeps life at the status quo and can make worries grow louder over time.
  • Viewing time through Psalm 90:12 helps shift anxiety about running out of time toward trusting God’s pace.
  • Simple practices like praying before checking your phone and reading Scripture first can reset the tone of the day.
  • When feeling behind, acting the opposite by slowing down and reassessing priorities can calm anxiety and restore perspective.
“"It wasn't until I was completely bottoming out with depression that I started to see that God wants all of it. Even in the middle of our struggles."”

What drives someone to seek a life without feeling constantly behind, anxious, and overwhelmed? This conversation on *The Call with Nancy Sabato* centres on that familiar knot of worry in your stomach and the nagging question: "Is God tired of hearing the same worry?" Guest Nichole Suvar talks openly about years spent stuffing her worries down, convinced that God was fed up with hearing the same struggle on repeat.

She shares, "I thought for sure he didn't want to hear any more of it and I needed to get it figured out before I could really come to the Father." That belief eventually collided with a season of deep depression, where she began to realise that God actually wants *all* of it, every single time.

You’ll hear Nancy and Nichole chat about what "maintenance mode" feels like – doing just enough to get by, stuck in the status quo while worries grow louder. Nichole explains how Psalm 90:12 shaped her book *Numbering Our Days*, and how seeing our time through God’s perspective slows the frantic rush and brings a "heart of wisdom" rather than more anxiety. Practical habits get plenty of attention too.

Nichole keeps her phone out of the bedroom, wakes up with an old-fashioned alarm, and starts the day with simple prayer and Scripture – "the word before the world" – as a way of turning towards Jesus before the day’s demands hit. She also unpacks how overfilled calendars reveal what we feel responsible for, and offers questions to help you spot commitments that are quietly fuelling your anxiety.

For anyone who feels they’re already behind, Nichole suggests acting the opposite: slow down, make gentler movements, and remind your body and mind that not everything is life or death. The core message? God isn’t tired of you, or your repeated worries. What might change if you brought the same concern back to Him, again and again?
