Sometimes life can feel as if it is throwing punches at you. The bills keep coming. You can hardly get outside to enjoy yourself. The responsibilities keep stacking up. Oh, then something unexpected happens on top of it all.

It can leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed, and then make you feel suffocated. Whether you are trying to keep your head up through single motherhood, work stress, grief, uncertainty, or even one of those hard seasons, I want to remind you that you do not have to carry it all by yourself.
I understand how being hyper independent can be, but God’s Word has a way of meeting us right in the middle of the heaviness. His word can give us comfort, strength, and hope we need to push through.

Life can get heavy. Trying to hold everything together on your own without asking anyone for help can get exhausting. Now while God never said life would always be easy, He did promise to be with you through every hard moment. I have been finding moments during the past few weeks where I must remember this for myself even when I am frustrated.
If this season has been stretching you every which way, keep coming back to these verses. Let them comfort your heart. Read them in the morning. If you feel compelled to whisper them to yourself during a hard day. Or come back to these verses at night when your mind is steady overthinking.
Sometimes all it takes is one verse to remind you that God is still with you. He
is still faithful. He is still carrying you. Whatever you are facing right now,
please remember that you are not doing this alone.
