I Will Carry You

“You Were Never Meant to Carry This Alone”

You. 
The one who’s tired. 
The one who’s been carrying life like it’s a punishment. 
The one who’s been trying to hold everything together 
with hands that were never built to hold the world.

Because I know what it feels like 
to be overwhelmed 
and under‑supported. 
To be told “be strong” 
when your strength is already leaking through the cracks. 
To be told “trust God” 
by people who never showed you what trust looks like.

I know what it feels like 
to hear Christians talk about love 
but live out fear. 
To hear sermons about grace 
but feel judgment in the hallway. 
To hear “God is good” 
from people who were hurting so deeply 
they couldn’t help but hurt you too.

And somewhere along the way, 
you started to believe 
that church was a trap, 
God was a gimmick, 
and faith was a bill you couldn’t afford to pay.

That version of God 
was never God.

That was people. 
That was pain. 
That was old‑school fear dressed up as holiness. 
That was the echo of a covenant 
that Jesus already fulfilled.

Because the real God said, 
“Cast your burden on Me, and I will sustain you.” 
(Psalm 55:22)

You were never meant to carry life alone. 
You were never meant to be your own savior. 
You were never meant to drag your past 
like a chain around your ankle 
and call it “responsibility.”

You were built for connection. 
For guidance. 
For peace. 
For a God who walks with you, 
not a religion that watches you.

If God was a gimmick, 
if faith was a scam, 
if church was a trick to take your money…

then the people who trust God the most 
would be the most broken.

But that’s not what we see.

We see addicts healed. 
We see marriages restored. 
We see anxiety quieted. 
We see purpose awakened. 
We see people who were drowning 
now breathing again.

Because “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” 
(Psalm 34:18)

A scam can’t do that. 
A gimmick can’t transform a life. 
A trick can’t heal trauma.

Only God can.

And I’m not talking about the God 
who was thrown at you like a weapon. 
I’m talking about the God 
who whispers to you in the quiet. 
The God who nudges you gently 
when you’re about to give up. 
The God who corrects you 
not with shame 
but with love.

The God who said, 
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, 
and I will give you rest.” 
(Matthew 11:28)

Because when you trust Him,
even a little, 
something shifts.

Not because you joined a church. 
Not because you paid a tithe. 
Not because you followed a rule.

But because trust 
opens the door 
for God to lead.

And when God leads, 
life lines up.

Because He promised, 
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… 
and He will make your paths straight.” 
(Proverbs 3:5–6)

Paths straighten. 
Chaos settles. 
Provision shows up. 
Peace replaces panic. 
And the weight you’ve been dragging 
finally lifts.

And when you say, 
“God, I don’t know how to change,” 
He answers, 
“I will give you a new heart 
and put a new spirit within you.” 
(Ezekiel 36:26)

You don’t change yourself. 
God changes you 
from the inside out.

You were never meant to carry this alone. 
You were never meant to figure out life by yourself. 
You were never meant to be your own guide, 
your own healer, 
your own protector.

You were meant to walk with God, 
not the God of fear, 
not the God of punishment, 
not the God of manipulation, 
but the God of restoration.

The God who said, 
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 
(Hebrews 13:5)

The God who sees you. 
The God who knows you. 
The God who still wants you.

Trust Him with all your heart. 
And watch Him make your path straight. 
Watch Him line things up. 
Watch Him turn the weight you’re carrying 
into the testimony you’ll tell.

This is not a gimmick. 
This is not a trick. 
This is not a scam.

This is God. 
And He’s been waiting for you 
to stop carrying everything alone.
