SOULjourner,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
This Lent, Yeshua’s invitation echoes through the wilderness: Release is sacred surrender. When the world and the church's demands exhaust you—when masking feels heavy, when sensory overload presses down—His yoke is easy, His burden light.
Breathe out + release: "I release what exhausts me.”
Breathe in + receive: "I receive Yeshua's unburdening nurture.”
A Blessing for Release
This Lenten season...
May you find freedom in release—the freedom to lay down your worries, your regrets, your woulda, shoulda, and couldas.
May you be renewed in the surrender of your heart, knowing that in letting go, you are placing your burdens into the Good Shepherd's heart + hands. Feel the weight lift as you surrender each one. Exchanging burnout for belovedness.
Amen + Asé
For April's National Autism Acceptance Month, affirm: "In this inclusive collective, I am seen, heard, and valued. Autism is not a limitation but a source of empowerment + self-expression. I will celebrate my so-not-typical self."
