(Take this to Him in prayer. This word is for someone.)
I feel the Father saying:**“Slow down. You are moving way too fast. Instead of walking with Me, you’ve begun to run ahead of Me—full steam ahead—thinking it’s faith when really, it’s fear of falling behind. Stop while you’re still ahead and return to Me. Come back to the basics. Come back to Me.
I’m trying to teach you to rest IN Me, but you keep trying to earn My approval by doing more. Beloved, you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to prove anything. You don’t have to do anything but be. I haven’t left you—you’ve just drifted out of alignment.
You’ve placed the weight of people’s opinions and the need for their approval over My voice. But I am not the Author of burnout or weariness. That is not My yoke. My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. Let Me lead, guide, and direct your next steps.
Stop adding to your plate as a way to avoid what I’m actually calling you to do: be still and know that I AM God.”**
Scriptures to Meditate On:
“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33
“You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?” – Galatians 5:7
Prayer:
Father, I lay down the pace I’ve picked up without You. Forgive me for trying to earn what You’ve already freely given—Your love, Your approval, and Your presence. Help me to slow down and come back into alignment with You. Teach me how to be in You, not just do for You. I want to move at the pace of grace, not pressure. Strip away the noise, the expectations, and the need to perform. I surrender the need to be seen by man and choose to be found at Your feet again. Remind me that rest is holy, and You are found in the stillness. I receive Your invitation to return. In Jesus' name, amen.
If this spoke to you, don’t rush past it. Sit with it. Take it to the Lord. Let Him realign your steps and renew your soul. You don’t have to do more. Just be His.
