What Am I Carrying?
A Faithful Look Within
Day 1
“Let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the LORD.”
Lamentations 3:40
There comes a moment in the recovery journey when God invites us to look inward, not to overwhelm us, but to reveal what we’ve been holding deep inside. Many of us don’t realize how much weight we’ve been carrying — unspoken hurts, old fears, lingering shame, unresolved resentment, and beliefs we’ve absorbed that were never true.
Honesty is the doorway to freedom. Naming what we carry is the first gentle step toward healing.
This is not about analyzing yourself to pieces. It’s about acknowledging what’s real — in the presence of a God who loves you too deeply to let hidden wounds keep shaping your life.
You don’t have to fix anything today. You don’t have to make sense of it all. You simply begin here: “Lord, help me see what I’ve been carrying.”
In God’s presence, even the heaviest things begin to lose their power.
A prayer for your day
Lord, help me recognize what I’ve been holding inside. Give me courage to see it clearly and grace to carry it with You. Amen.
Put it in Action
Find a quiet place and complete this short sentence honestly:
“Lord, I think I might be carrying…”
Write whatever comes up, without judging it.
