A Devotional for the Girl Who’s Overwhelmed with Life

💗 You’re not failing. You’re human.

When you're juggling to-do lists, emotions, responsibilities, and expectations, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning. But being overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re weak... it means you’re doing a lot, and that deserves grace.

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Jesus doesn’t ask us to carry everything alone. He invites us to bring the weight of our world to Him. He doesn't shame you for being overwhelmed. He gently whispers, “Let Me carry that for you.”

💐 Let go of the pressure to do it all

We live in a world that glorifies being busy and “having it all together.” But God isn’t impressed by hustle; He’s after your heart.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. You don’t have to say yes to everyone. You don’t have to prove your worth through your productivity. You are already fully loved by the God who formed you.

🌷 Little prayers count too

When you're overwhelmed, sometimes praying feels hard. But prayers don’t have to be long or poetic to be powerful.

“Jesus, help me.”
“I’m tired. Please give me strength.”
“Lord, hold my heart today.”

He hears you. He sees your tears. He’s with you in the mess, the noise, and the moments you think no one notices.

💌 You’re not behind. You’re right on time!

It’s okay if today doesn’t look like your Pinterest vision board. It's okay if all you did was breathe and try again. God isn't measuring your life in achievements; He's looking at how you lean on Him.

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

💕 Before you go...
