I want to encourage you today—God sees every tear, every sleepless night, every moment of anxiety, and He has not forgotten about you. He knows the weight of what you’re carrying, the stress that’s been pressing on you, and the burdens that have been trying to steal your joy. But can I tell you? That stress is not permanent. That heaviness is not going to last forever. God is about to shift things in your favor in ways you never imagined. Sometimes, the enemy will try to convince you that nothing is ever going to change. That the stress is just something you have to live with. That you’re always going to struggle, always going to feel overwhelmed. But the enemy is a liar. God didn’t create you to live under stress, He created you to walk in peace. He created you to live with joy, to move forward in victory, to experience His goodness in every area of your life. The Scripture says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” That means God never intended for you to carry all this on your own. He never meant for you to live worried, anxious, or discouraged. He’s saying today, “Give it to Me. Let Me handle it. Let Me fight your battles.”
