“But Jesus replied, ‘My Father is always working, and so am I.” –  John 5:17 (NLT)

Do you always feel stressed? overwhelmed? Exhausted? I found myself walking to work thinking about how this is normalized and how Jesus never handled life’s problems this way so why should we? Like Bruce Lee said “Water never resists, it flows.” It moves around obstacles, fills empty spaces, and adapts to whatever it encounters without losing its essence. Jesus lived like water. He was never hurried, never caught off guard, never rattled by interruptions. He embraced problems as opportunities, disruptions as divine appointments, and difficulties as part of the Father’s will.

Most of us do the opposite. We fight interruptions, resent problems, and become agitated when things don’t go according to plan. But what if we truly believed that every problem is under the Father’s watchful care, every obstacle is met with the Spirit’s power, and every challenge is carried to the Father by Jesus Himself? Would we still panic? Would we still resist?

Jesus walked with the confidence that His Father was watching, the Spirit was guiding, and heaven was interceding. When storms arose, He slept (Mark 4:38). When crowds pressed in, He remained present (Mark 5:30). When His plans were disrupted, He saw divine purpose instead of frustration (Luke 8:40-56). He welcomed interruptions because He never saw them as interruptions—only as part of the Father’s plan.

Most of our exhaustion does not come from the work we do, but from the tension between our expectations and God’s reality. We get upset because life does not unfold according to our preferences. But a surrendered heart lets go of control, welcomes interruptions, and trusts that God is working in every detail.

What if today, instead of resisting, you flowed like water? What if you saw interruptions as divine assignments, problems as refining tools, and delays as God’s protection? The Father watches you. The Spirit empowers you. And Jesus intercedes for you. There is nothing to fear.
