When life gets too loud, overwhelming, or demanding, it’s easy to keep pushing through out of guilt or habit. But God didn’t design us to carry constant stress. He invites us to pause, breathe, and realign our hearts with Him. Stepping away isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. 📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 📖 “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 This prayer is for the one carrying too much, for too long. It’s time to release what was never yours to carry and retreat into the peace of God’s presence. He holds space for your rest, renewal, and healing.
