Have you ever prayed, "God, I'm giving this to You," only to find yourself carrying it again a few hours later?

Maybe you've been holding onto worry, guilt, fear, or the pressure to keep everything together. You know God invites you to cast your cares on Him... but if you're honest, letting go feels harder than you expected.

In this episode, I'm sharing the second rhythm of my morning time with the Father and the gentle invitation He's been teaching me. Together, we'll discover why release isn't something we force, how trust grows in the Father's embrace, and why opening our hands to the Father makes room for His peace, grace, and presence.

Psalm 139 (The Passion Translation)

Tomorrow morning, I want to invite you to go a little deeper.

Before you begin thinking about the day...

Before you reach for your to-do list...

Before you ask God for anything...

Take a moment to simply sit in the Father's embrace.

Take a deep breath.

Whisper,

"Good morning, Father."

And just be with Him.

After you've spent a few moments in His presence, ask Him what He wants to carry with you today.

Don't rush.

Trust Him enough to show you.

Then open your hands, one burden at a time, and allow the Father to carry what you were never meant to carry alone.

Father,

As I sit with You today, what am I carrying that You never intended for me to carry alone?

Is there something I've been holding onto because I'm afraid to trust You with it?

Would You help me open my hands and receive the peace that comes from placing my burdens into Yours?

You don't have to carry the weight of today by yourself.

You have a Father who welcomes you into His embrace, grows your trust, and lovingly carries what was never meant to rest on your shoulders.

Until next time... stay grounded, Mama.
