FOR THE WORRIED ONE
For your anxious heart,
I hope you know it is okay if learning to trust is a process.
And I hope, when your heart is anxious, you remember that you have made it through difficult things even when it was difficult to trust. So much has happened in your life so far that you haven’t been able to understand, but the beautiful thing is you made it here. After everything, you made it here.
If you find yourself wondering, where do we go from here, and how we carry on and push forward, though so much is unknown, I just hope you know: you are not alone. At any given moment, someone is feeling the same thing you’re feeling. You are still a part of a greater picture. Your story is tied to something more.
There may not be easy answers here, but there is peace to be found amidst the questions.
You are worthy of a quiet moment, even if it is only for a minute.
You are worthy of rest, even if it’s not the full amount of rest you need.
You are free to breathe, whenever you can, however you can.
You are free to have peace without having answers for everything.
I hope today you are reminded that even if you do not know where the journey is headed, you will still find the strength you need along the way, for every moment is wrapped in grace, even when it doesn’t seem that way.
There might be moments where you feel like your hard work is not enough, and you are starting to wonder if you should just give up. And it seems like everyone else is handling this so much more efficiently than you, and you can’t help but feel ten thousand steps behind. In that place, I hope you can remember: strength looks different from person to person, season to season.
Take notes from others while also knowing, you cannot compare your progress to them.
May you never think less of yourself because of what seems halted in your life right now. You are free to come alive right here, where you are, knowing that even though you do not know what’s ahead, that doesn’t mean you are worth any less.
Look for room to breathe under the morning sun and let it remind you of the new beginnings you are worthy of. Let morning-mercy remind you that even when you have questions, you are free to be undone. You are free to take each minute one by one by one.
