DAY 2 — LAYING DOWN LAST YEAR’S WEIGHT

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

Before you step fully into this new year, God is inviting you to lay down what you were never meant to carry forward.

Moms carry silent loads — the emotional weight of the home, unspoken worries, delayed self-care, unanswered prayers, and hidden exhaustion.

But today, Jesus stands before you like a gentle Father and says: “Give it to Me. You don’t have to drag last year’s heaviness into this year’s promise.”

Releasing is not failure. Releasing is not weakness. Releasing is not giving up.

Releasing is spiritual alignment. Releasing is strength. Releasing is obedience.

To step into a new season, you must travel light. Let today be your spiritual exhale.

Reflection

What emotions, disappointments, expectations, or burdens from last year do you need to release into God’s hands?

Prayer

Jesus, I release every burden I carried last year — the ones I acknowledged and the ones I buried. Free my heart. Lift the weight. Teach me to walk lightly, leaning fully into Your grace. Amen.
