I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save. Isaiah 46: 4 NLT 

Sometimes, we forget God’s aware of our worries. He knows when we’re anxious and worn. He longs for us to cope with HOPE, learn  to TRUST in Him and surrender our weary thoughts. 

Often, we’re weakened by the fear of letting go. We forget what happens when we follow Christ and allow Him to carry the loads. We need to be reminded who balances our burdens and remember who renews our souls with everything we need to breathe in PEACE.  

Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” God hears our prayers and longs for us to give Him what we don't have to hold. He brings balance to our days as we follow Christ and learn to step in FAITH. 

There will always be things to carry. But God will provide courage to navigate bumps in the road. He will ready us to witness the power of His plan and find STRENGTH as we faithfully follow Jesus. 

It won’t always be easy when things don’t go as planned. But God will guide us toward wholeness. He will restore our souls and help us remember who handles our days. God will help us find thankfulness as we step in love and believe He knows what we NEED.  

God will prepare us to welcome an attitude of gratitude. He will help us BELIEVE He has plans for a future that is GOOD. God will always take care of us. We must believe in the power of His greatness and stop carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. It’s time to choose JOY instead.

Dear God, thank you for Jesus and the HOPE we have because of His great love. When we’re weary from the worry of wonder, lift us with Your arms of strength and humble our hearts for Your greatness. We will trust YOU all of our days. Thank you for knowing what we need to welcome gratitude. You hold us together! Help us bravely release anxious thoughts as we witness how You strengthen our souls. Thank you for knowing our hearts. Help us walk in peace and experience how it feels to be known as YOURS. We pray all of these things in Jesus’ name. Thank you, loving Lord.  Amen
