Get your free download, which includes the Morning Surrender Prayer and Surrender and Striving Assessment: Surrendering the Weight You Were Never Meant to Carry

In this episode, we’re exploring a spiritual shift that can change everything for the woman who is tired of striving, hustling, and holding life together with her bare hands. We’re talking about surrender, releasing what God never meant for you to carry, and learning to work from grace instead of constant pressure.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or guilty for resting, this conversation will help you breathe, release, and trust God more deeply in your daily rhythm.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The difference between striving in your own strength vs. working in God’s grace
• Signs you may be carrying more than God assigned
• How to let go without feeling like you’re “dropping the ball.”
• Why surrender is not weakness, but worship
• A simple daily Surrender Prayer to begin your reset

Memorable Quotes

“Striving is heavy, surrender is holy.”

“You can work hard without carrying the weight alone.”

“Somewhere between responsibility and survival, your soul started carrying things you never surrendered.”

“There’s a difference between working hard versus working in grace.”

“If it’s draining you, costing your peace, is pulling you from God instead of toward Him… then it may not be God-assigned.”

Scriptures to Reflect On

• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
• Psalm 55:22 — “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you.”
• Isaiah 41:10 — “I will strengthen you, I will help you…”

Call to Action – Try the Surrender Prayer each morning: 

“Lord, I surrender my plans, my worries, and my striving. I trust You to lead me. I release what I was never meant to carry, and I receive Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” 

Say it slowly, daily, and until you believe it.
