Midday Bearings 002 - The Weight You Were Never Meant To Carry

Some burdens belong on your shoulders. Others belong at the feet of Christ.

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

PAUSE

Pay attention to your shoulders.

Not your responsibilities.

Your shoulders.

How much are they carrying right now that God never asked you to hold?

Many of us mistake control for faithfulness.

We believe if we think hard enough, prepare long enough, or worry deeply enough, we can somehow protect tomorrow.

But worry has never changed tomorrow.

It only steals today.

Lay down what isn’t yours.

The Shepherd is stronger than the sheep.

MIDDAY PRAYER

Lord,

Help me recognize the difference between responsibility and control.

Give me courage to carry what You have assigned and surrender everything else.

Amen.

TODAY’S BEARING

Release one burden you’ve been rehearsing all morning.

Go in peace. Christ walks before you.
