You’re allowed to put the weight down. The job of Savior was already filled.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Some people carry a load that was never assigned to them: fixing the family, saving the friend, holding everything together so nothing falls apart. It usually comes from care rather than pride, and it still exceeds what any person can hold. The line is offering a release rather than a rebuke, and the release is the important part.

Name the one thing you have been carrying that is not actually yours to carry. Say it in prayer, and say it to one person who knows the situation. Then do the part that genuinely is yours, and set the rest down.
