How much weight are you carrying right now?

The expectations. The deadlines. The constant striving to “get it all right.”

We convince ourselves that if we just do more, achieve more, perfect more… then maybe we’ll finally feel at peace. But the truth? That pressure was never ours to carry.

God never asked you to hustle for His love. He never asked you to prove your worth or perfect your life before coming to Him. Yet so often, we keep piling on the burdens He already offered to lift.

I know what it’s like to live under the weight of “not enough.” And I also know the freedom of finally laying it down at His feet.

Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s choosing to release control and trust the One who’s been holding it all along.

3 Ways to Release What Was Never Yours

1. Name the weight you’re carrying.
Call it out. Perfectionism, comparison, people-pleasing—these are heavy burdens, but they are not your identity.

2. Hand it over to God.
Surrender means choosing to trust His plan over your own. It’s not about giving up—it’s about giving in to His better way.

3. Walk in freedom.
When you let go, you make room for peace, rest, and joy. Your worth isn’t tied to what you hold—it’s anchored in who holds you.

3 Points to Ponder

What expectations or pressures am I carrying that God never asked me to?
Where am I striving for control instead of surrendering to His plan?
How would my life feel lighter if I trusted Him with it all today?

Scripture for the Soul

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

Friend, you weren’t created to carry the weight of perfection. You were created to abide in Him. His rest is your inheritance. His peace is your promise. His strength meets you where your striving ends.
