When the weight is bigger than you
Work, money, family, and news that never stops. How do you breathe when everything is heavy?
Being tired is not weakness
The weight you are carrying is real. You do not have to act strong in front of everyone all the time.
What did Isa al-Masih say about the weight?
He said: “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He did not say: sort your lives out and then come. He said come like this, tired.
He also said: “Don’t be anxious for tomorrow” (Matthew 6:34). Not because tomorrow does not matter, but because today has enough of its own.
Small steps today
- Write the worry in your head on a piece of paper. Name it.
- Choose one small thing you can do today.
- Talk to someone you trust, or write to us.
If things are very hard
If you feel you are in danger, or are thinking of hurting yourself, talk at once to someone close to you or to a professional. Your life matters.
