Lord, carry what I cannot carry, because I'm weighed down by burdens too heavy for my shoulders, crushed under weight I was never meant to bear alone.
I'm trying to carry everything myself, all the responsibilities, all the worries, all the problems, all the pain, and it's breaking me, I can't do it anymore.
Teach me to distinguish between what's mine to carry and what's Yours, to recognize when I'm bearing weight You never asked me to hold, to release what's crushing me into Your capable hands.
Some burdens are too heavy for me, some situations too big for my strength, some problems beyond my ability to solve, and I need You to take them because I simply cannot.
Help me actually give You what I say I'm giving You, to stop picking back up what I've laid down, to trust You with burdens I've carried so long they feel like part of me.
Remind me that You're not just willing but wanting to carry what's too heavy for me, that You invited this, that asking You to carry my burdens honors You rather than bothers You.
Give me faith to release my grip on what I cannot carry, courage to admit I need help, trust that what I give You will be held securely.
Let me hand over what I cannot carry today, feeling the weight lift as You take it, free because You carry what I could never hold.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
