Have you ever felt like you were the only one carrying the weight of the world while everyone around you seemed to radiate happiness? It’s a lonely and heavy place to be, wondering why I couldn’t join the joy others seemed to effortlessly experience. I wrestled with my emotions, feeling guilty for not being happy in this season of life. But today, I reached a turning point. I realized that 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐞. So today, I finally made a decision. I choose to surrender everything to God. 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨. Instead of letting my worries consume me, I’d turn them into worship. Instead of being paralyzed by my problems, I’d turn them into praise. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧. This truth is freeing and empowering. God doesn’t ask us to bear the weight of the world on our shoulders. He invites us to lay it all down before Him—every fear, every doubt, every overwhelming situation. Today, I’m choosing to trust His strength over mine. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐈 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞. There’s peace in surrender, and there’s joy in God’s strength. 🖤
