The Weight of Worry
How much unnecessary weight are you carrying? Worry is a heavy burden—and unlike a backpack or a sandbag, it’s invisible, immeasurable, and relentless. If someone asked you to carry a sandbag everywhere you went, you’d probably look at them like they were crazy. And yet, we do something just as irrational every day. The person asking us to carry this burden isn’t real—it’s the illusion of who we think we are.
The mind has an insatiable appetite for destruction. And no, I’m not talking about the epic 1987 Guns N' Roses album—I’m talking about that relentless inner voice that never seems to stop. It analyzes, predicts, replays, doubts, judges, and worries. And it never tires.
But our bodies do. Our spirits do. They grow weary under the weight of constant worry.
The truth is, God never asked us to carry this load. In fact, He tells us the opposite:
"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." – Matthew 11:30
Ask yourself: What am I carrying, and is it necessary?
It’s like overpacking for an overnight trip. We don’t need four pairs of pants, three sets of shoes, and six shirts for one night. We bring what’s essential, what’s useful, and what’s enough. The same is true of God’s grace—it is sufficient. You don’t need to carry anything more.
Let’s be honest—do we really believe that worrying will change God’s will? Will it prevent what’s meant to happen? Billions have walked this earth before us. They worried. Things came, things passed. Then they died. And God knew every single one of them. Each one remains in His love.
"In my Father’s house are many rooms... I go to prepare a place for you." – John 14:2
So hand over the weight. Let go of the unnecessary burden. God is strong enough to carry it all.
I love you, my brothers and sisters.
