Why You’re Tired All the Time: The Spiritual Cost of Carrying What God Never Assigned

1. You’re Carrying Other People’s Problems

Many of you have been trained to believe that being spiritual means rescuing everyone.

• You take responsibility for grown adults.
• You try to fix what only God can fix.
• You drain your energy solving problems you didn’t create.

Practical Tip:
Ask yourself before you step in:
“Did God assign this to me, or did I assign it to myself?”

2. You’re Carrying Guilt and Shame

Unresolved guilt is the heaviest burden of all.

Psalm 38:4 KJV:
“For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.”

• Guilt keeps you stuck in the past.
• Shame convinces you that you’re unworthy of rest or joy.

Action Step:
Write a letter releasing the guilt you’ve carried.
Pray:
“Father, I receive Your forgiveness and lay this burden down.”

3. You’re Carrying the Illusion of Control

You think if you stop worrying, everything will fall apart.

• Worry is a form of pride—it assumes you must sustain the universe.
• Trust is humility in action.

1 Peter 5:7 KJV:
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Affirmation:
“I am safe to let go. God is in control.”

4. You’re Carrying Outdated Assignments

What was right for a season can become a burden in the next.

• Some friendships have expired.
• Some roles have run their course.
• Some dreams were for an earlier version of you.

Action Step:
Ask in prayer:
“Lord, what am I still carrying that You never asked me to?”

Then listen quietly. The answer will come.

5. How to Release What Isn’t Yours

1. Pause Daily
   • Sit quietly and feel what feels heavy.
2. Identify
   • Is this burden truly mine?
3. Release
   • Visualize placing it in God’s hands.
4. Affirm
   • “I am only responsible for what God has assigned to me.”
5. Repeat
   • Freedom is a daily decision.

6. Signs You’ve Let Go

• You feel lightness in your spirit.
• You stop overexplaining yourself.
• You have more energy.
• You trust God more than your plans.

Final Thoughts

You were never designed to carry the weight of the world.
You were designed to walk in freedom.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free…” (Galatians 5:1 KJV)

Lay it down.
Rest.
Trust.
