Day 13: What Am I Carrying That Isn’t Mine?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today I’m sitting with a gentle but necessary question: What am I carrying that I’m not supposed to carry? So often, the pressure, urgency, and weight I feel… I’m the one who created it. And a lot of what I hold onto was never meant for me to carry alone in the first place.
I reflect on the scriptures that remind me to cast my cares and burdens on the Lord because He cares for me and sustains me. This episode is an invitation to look honestly at the heaviness we’ve picked up—worry, pressure, expectations—and ask, Is this really mine? And if not, to lay it down at the feet of Jesus so we can show up in the simplest, truest way possible.
A soft reminder: we don’t have to hold everything. We were never meant to.
