to be honest

it’s been quite a while since i’ve written one of these posts. it’s not because I do not want to inspire others or that I don’t love God anymore, it’s mainly because life has really been kicking me in the butt. it’s like one thing will happen and then another and another and another. it feels like it’s a never ending cycle sometimes. within these trials I realized I had made a BIG MISTAKE. I was trying to fix all these issues alone.

I wasn’t sharing my burdens with God or asking for His help and guidance, I was leaning on my own understanding of the situation and trying to do everything by myself. this is definitely not how I should have been handling these trials. God WANTS us to run to Him in times of need. He never wants us to take matters into our own hands. I ran across this verse, “Then Jesus said, “Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). This was a HUGE wake up call for me. once I laid out everything in front of Him and asked Him to take control, I finally felt the peace I had needed for months!

i’m telling you all this to say, please do not carry your burdens alone. you’re disrupting your own peace. give them to God! He has a plan for you. plans to prosper you! never turn away from Him in hard times, instead turn TOWARDS Him🤍
