This Was Never Yours to Carry
You keep asking why you’re exhausted,
but you’re carrying the weight of the world on shoulders God never asked you to use.
You’re holding together people who won’t hold themselves together.
Trying to force outcomes only God can orchestrate.
Fighting battles that were never assigned to you.
Calling it “strength” while your soul is begging for rest.
You say, “If I let go, everything will fall apart.”
But look closer.
It’s falling apart because you won’t let go.
God keeps reaching for the load in your hands,
and you keep tightening your grip.
You pray for peace
while wrestling control from the very One who can give it.
You want relief
but won’t release.
Faith was never meant to sound like
“God, I’ve got this.”
Faith sounds like
“God… I can’t. I surrender it to you”
Real peace doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from surrendering deeper.
So lay it down.
The people.
The outcomes.
The timelines.
The pressure to fix what only heaven can heal.
Stop carrying what was never yours to carry.
Let God be God.
