“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
Devotional Message- Day 14
Some days, you show up to prayer with gratitude and peace.
Other days, you show up with anxiety, fear, frustration, and questions.
And somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to “clean it up” before we come to God.
But God isn’t afraid of your mess.
He doesn’t need you to filter your feelings, polish your prayers, or pretend everything is okay.
He wants the real you.
The One who formed your heart is not surprised by its pain.
He already knows your doubts. He already sees your struggle.
And still, He says, “Cast it on Me. I care.”
God never asked for perfection—He asked for surrender.
He never demanded polished faith—He welcomed childlike honesty.
So today, come to Him with whatever you’re carrying.
Unload it.
Say it ugly.
Cry if you need to.
He’s not judging. He’s not irritated. He’s not shocked.
He’s listening.
And He’s more interested in your honest heart than your perfect performance.
Reflection Prompt
What mess are you carrying that you’ve been trying to manage on your own? What would it look like to lay it all at God’s feet today?
Prayer
Father, I don’t have the right words today. But You already know. I bring You the mess I’ve been trying to carry alone. Teach me to trust You with the raw and unfiltered parts of me. Thank You for being gentle with what I can’t fix. Amen.
Closer Still – Action Step
Write out everything you’re afraid to tell God—your anger, fears, sin, doubts. Then read it aloud in prayer and say, “Here it is, Lord. I trust You with it.” Don’t edit. Just release it.
