The Weight and the Wheel

When alignment isn’t mechanical, it’s spiritual

You are deserving of God’s best—don’t settle for anything less, no matter how shiny it looks.

There was a time when I thought peace meant keeping everything together. If it squeaked, I’d oil it. If it cracked, I’d tape it. If it drifted, I’d steer harder.

Control equals faithfulness.

Turns out, it equals exhaustion.

Alignment isn’t about having all four tires straight—it’s about knowing which ones God told you to keep on the car. Sometimes the heaviness we feel isn’t from warfare but from maintenance on what He never assigned to us.

God’s will doesn’t come with burnout as a prerequisite. When He said His yoke is easy, He wasn’t talking about the absence of work—He was talking about the absence of strain. The kind that eats away at your focus and makes you question your worth.

So, loosen your grip. Stop oversteering. Stop forcing what He’s already redirected. The peace you’re craving isn’t coming from more control; it’s coming from trust.

Focus Point:

When you stop gripping the wheel, you finally give God room to drive.
