What burden are you still trying to carry alone? Pray with open hands and physically release that weight to God today.
I held the weight like it made me strong, Thought control could right the wrongs. Built a wall with all my fear, Said I was fine… year after year. But cracks don't lie, and hearts don't heal By hiding what they really feel. I was drowning in my pride-soaked soul… 'Til You showed up, and took control. When I let go, I found Your grace. When I let go, I saw Your face. When I let go, the lies fell down. When I let go, I stopped the sound… Of all that shame, of all that fight, Of thinking I could make it right. When I let go… You held me tight. I chased the healing in my name, But every win just felt the same. Tired and empty, worn out thin, Trying to fix what lived within. You didn’t shout, You didn’t shake… Just whispered soft, “Son, it’s okay.” And for the first time, I believed… That maybe grace was made for me. When I let go, the chains came loose. When I let go, I saw the truth. When I let go, the night turned light. When I let go, I dropped the fight. Of proving worth, of hiding pain… Of acting fine in Jesus’ name. When I let go… You held me tight. I thought surrender meant I’d lose. But I found freedom when I moved. From trying to from trusting You— It was never mine to do. When I let go, I came undone. When I let go, You called me “son.” When I let go, I felt the weight… Fall off me… in Your embrace. No more fear. No more fight. No more earning love or getting it right. When I let go… You held me tight.... thank you Lord for holding me tight. Reflection:Letting go feels like losing control—but it’s actually gaining peace. When we release the weight of expectations, failures, and fears into God’s hands, He gives rest in return. It’s not weakness to surrender; it’s worship.
Father, help me to let go. I surrender what I can’t control and choose to trust You with every detail. Thank You for carrying what I cannot. Amen.
