1 Peter 5:7
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
Can I tell you something? Some of you are carrying things God never asked you to carry. You’re trying to hold your family together, fix every problem, predict every outcome, and make sure nobody gets hurt, nobody leaves, or nothing falls apart. And you’re exhausted.
You’ve spent so much of your life believing that if you don’t stay in control, everything will fall apart. So you overthink, worry, replay conversations, and prepare for problems that haven’t happened yet. You carry tomorrow’s burdens while trying to survive today.
But hear this: You were never meant to be your own god or carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. That job belongs to Jesus. Some of you are losing sleep over things God is already working out, crying over doors He closed to protect you, or trying to force answers He’s asking you to trust Him with.
The reason you’re so tired isn’t because you’re weak it’s because you’ve been carrying responsibilities that belong to God. The Lord is saying, “Give it to Me.” Give Me the anxiety, the fear, the heartbreak. Let the tears fall if they need to. For once, allow yourself to rest in the arms of a God who loves you enough to carry what you can’t. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to trust the One who does.
