A Nebraska business owner once told me he felt like he was running on a treadmill that never slowed down. His days were full, his revenue was steady, but his spirit felt drained. He said, “Isaiah, I keep asking God for answers but I don’t hear anything anymore.” I asked him when the last time was that he gave God space to speak. He looked down at the floor and said, “I can’t remember.”
So we did something simple. We took a step back. Not a step forward. Not a strategy session. Not a new marketing plan. Just stillness. Silence. The kind Nebraska mornings are famous for where the wind moves across the fields and everything inside you settles long enough to hear what you’ve been missing.
He resisted at first. He felt guilty for not working. He felt irresponsible for pausing. But as the days turned into weeks, something inside him shifted. He rediscovered his patience. He rediscovered his clarity. He rediscovered his connection to God. And with that connection came direction.
One afternoon he messaged me saying, “Isaiah, I finally heard Him again.” Ideas flowed that had been blocked for months. New partnerships appeared without force. He started making decisions that came from conviction, not panic. Stillness didn’t slow him down it positioned him for breakthrough.
Nebraska entrepreneurs often forget that stillness is not inactivity. It is preparation. It is alignment. It is obedience. God speaks most clearly when we are quiet enough to listen.
If your Nebraska business feels stuck, the answer may not be more effort it may be deeper stillness. I’d be honored to walk you into that clarity.
