I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're going to be okay. Control what you can and give the rest to God. Don't miss today worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You may not understand why you're in a certain position or why something won't work out in your favor that's protection. Everything happens for a reason! Don't take your eyes off God, and He won't take His hands off you.
"You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." - John 13:7 🤍
I told my therapist:
“I’m not suicidal…
but I’m tired in a way that scares me.”
She didn’t brush it off.
She didn’t say “everyone gets tired.”
She didn’t tell me to think positive.
She said softly:
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
Job didn’t get his old life back; he got a new one. God didn’t restore what he lost God rewrote the ending and gave him more than he had before.
Some pain won’t be explained, but it will be redeemed.
Lately, I've been including this in my prayer: "If I'm not meant to have it, Lord, please remove the desire from my heart to want it, and help me find peace in its absence."
DETACHMENT PRAYER
Dear God,
Today, I ask for the grace to loosen my grip on what has been quietly draining me. Help me discern what deserves my time, energy, and heart. Heal the places within me that learned to attach in order to survive. Teach me that comfort doesn't have to come from clinging, and that peace doesn't require control.
Gently redirect my heart back to You.
Let Your love be the place I return to when I feel anxious, uncertain, or afraid of letting go. Create quiet, graceful exits from attachments no longer aligned with who I am becoming.
Replace what I release with deeper trust, steadier faith, and a sense of safety that depends on no one or nothing else.
I choose to cling to what is eternal. I choose You, Your love, Your truth, and the freedom that comes from trusting You fully.
Amen
