Dear Little Girl...Trust The Next Step
Dear Little Girl,
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
It’s okay when the weight of work, family, responsibilities, and the unknowns of tomorrow feel like too much. Even the strongest hearts get tired. Even the bravest souls have days they wonder, “Can I keep carrying all of this?”
You are not weak for feeling it. You are human. And you are so deeply loved.
Today, you might feel stretched thin—juggling dreams and duties, choosing what to hold and what to set down. Maybe you’re learning the uncomfortable courage of not being everything for everyone. Maybe you’re letting go of the lie that says, “If everything around me is okay, then I’m okay.” Sweet girl, that’s not peace—that’s pressure.
Hear this:
You were never meant to carry it all alone.
You were created for trust—not control.
In Genesis, even Abraham and Isaac wrestled with trust. Fear crept in. Missteps happened. Yet God’s promises did not fail—not in the famine, not in the fear, not in the stumble. God’s faithfulness outlasts our strength.
Today, God isn’t asking you to solve the whole story.
He’s asking you to take the next faithful step.
Breathe.
Do the next right thing.
Preserve your energy. (Quiet is not quitting; it’s wisdom.)
Stay close to the One who already sees the road ahead.
You don’t have to “earn” peace by doing more.
You don’t have to “deserve” joy by being perfect.
You don’t have to fix what isn’t yours to fix.
A Tiny Practice for Today
Open your hands. Whisper: “Jesus, I release what isn’t mine to carry.”
Protect your peace. Step back from poking the bears; step toward what heals you—breath, fascia work, a walk, worship, water, rest.
Pick one next step. Only one. Then let God hold tomorrow.
