"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
, 1 Peter 5:7
Some of what is heavy on you today was never yours to begin with. It was handed to you, expected of you, assumed about you, and you picked it up because that is what good women do.
But strong is not the same as assigned. Just because you can carry it does not mean God asked you to. There is a difference between a calling and a load someone else dropped on your shoulders.
Today, be willing to set something down. Not everything. Just one thing. Ask the Lord, what is mine, and what did I take on that was never mine? Then trust Him with the answer.
Reflect
What is one weight I have been carrying that God never asked me to hold?
Pray
Lord, show me what to lay down. Help me trust that putting it down is not failing, it is obeying. Amen.
