Perseverance, Strength & Late-Summer Burnout

Week 34 — “Let God Carry the Heavy Stuff”

Scripture: “Cast your cares on the Lord…” — Psalm 55:22 (NIV)

Reflection: Some burdens grow heavier the longer we pretend they’re “no big deal.” Quiet worries, unspoken stress, and fears we don’t want to admit can wear us down over time. But God invites us to release those weights, not because we’re weak but because He never intended for us to carry them alone. Trusting Him with the heavy things brings real peace.

The Homestead Take Away: On the homestead, some jobs can only be handled with extra hands or heavier equipment. Life works the same — some loads need to be handed off.

Prayer: Lord, take the burdens I've been holding onto and teach me to trust You with them. Amen.
