Let Go of the Stuff that Weighs You Down
Some burdens are invisible.
They don’t show up on our shoulders, but in our sighs. In our sleepless nights. In the tension we carry in our necks, our minds, our hearts.
And if we’re honest, we carry a lot more than we need to.
Regret.
Bitterness.
Unrealistic expectations.
Unforgiveness.
Guilt.
Control.
These aren’t just feelings—they’re weights. And they will wear you down if you never set them down.
“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
— Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
What’s Holding You Back?
Sometimes it’s not what’s in front of you that’s stopping you—it’s what’s on you. You weren’t meant to carry it all. You were not meant to carry all the shame. Not the pressure to have it all together. And not the pain you’ve tucked away for years.
Letting go doesn’t mean it didn’t matter.
It means you matter enough to release it.
But How Do You Actually Let Go?
Letting go isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily surrender.
It’s saying, “God, I’m tired of holding this. Please take it.”
And then—when you try to pick it back up—saying it again.
📝 Try this: Write down the top three things that are weighing on you today. One by one, give them to God. Say it out loud if you can.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
God never meant for you to carry it all.
Let go—so you can breathe again, let go—so you can live lighter, and let go—so you can finally heal.
