You Don’t Have to Carry It All If this year has drained you… this message is for you. It’s December, and so many of us are tired. Not just physically… but emotionally and spiritually too. Some of us are carrying stress from the year, heartbreak, disappointment, fear, and silent pain that nobody sees. But listen to this… Jesus says in Matthew 11:28: “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He doesn’t say, “Fix yourself first.” He doesn’t say, “Be stronger.” He simply says, “Come.” You don’t have to carry everything alone. You don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. Invite God into your tiredness. Give Him your stress. Give Him your worries. Give Him the pain you’ve been hiding. You are not alone. God is with you. Jesus is on your side. And real rest is found in Him. Breathe… and let Him carry what you were never meant to carry alone. Lay Your Burdens Down Heavenly Father, I come before You tired, worn down, and carrying more than I was ever meant to hold. You see the stress I don’t talk about, the worries I hide behind my smile, and the silent battles I fight every single day. Lord, I confess that I have tried to be strong on my own, and I am tired of carrying life’s weight without You. Today, I choose to come to You just as I am — not fixed, not perfect, not healed yet, but honest and open. Your Word tells me that when I am weary and burdened, I can come to You and You will give me rest. So right now, I lay my heaviness at Your feet. I give You my anxiety, my fear, my heartbreak, my disappointment, and every unspoken prayer trapped in my heart. Father, replace my weariness with Your peace. Replace my weakness with Your strength. Replace my heaviness with Your comfort. Wrap me in Your presence and remind my soul that I am not alone, not forgotten, and not abandoned. I invite You into every tired part of me. Carry what I can no longer hold. Quiet the storm inside my mind. Heal the exhaustion in my heart. Teach me how to rest in You again. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
