Can I be honest with you? These past few weeks have been some of the most challenging weeks I’ve ever experienced. The world shut down, my husband was in the hospital, and the enemy tried to attack me in more ways than one. But through it all, God kept me encouraged and reminded me that I was graced to carry.

Maybe you’ve been dealing with your own issues and battling life with your own problems. Let’s be real, we all have issues that we’ve had to deal with, but God has graced us to carry. We cannot allow life’s battle scars to hinder us from moving on to greater, better, and abundance.

Whether you’ve had your issues in your marriage, finances, family, health, business, or mind, you’ve been graced to carry it.

You’ve been graced to carry the business.
You’ve been graced to carry the ministry.
You’ve been graced to carry the calling.
You’ve been graced to carry the anointing.
You’ve been graced to carry the marriage.
You’ve been graced to carry the children.
You’ve been graced to carry the purpose.
You’ve been graced to carry the assignment.

I know you’ve been weary, wounded, and worried, but you’ve been graced to carry it. I know you’ve been feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and tired, but you’ve been graced to carry it. I know depression has tried to consume your mind and fear has tried to grip your heart, but you’ve been graced to carry it. Carry it!

You’ve come too far to drop it here. Don’t stop here. Don’t give up now. You’ve been graced to carry the tasks assigned to your hands. God knew he could trust you with it.

God is perfect in all of his ways and knows exactly what he’s doing. He has a track record of always coming through and working everything out for your good! Even when you don’t see him working, he’s working.

God has sent me on assignment to encourage you to continue to move forward, because you’ve been graced to carry.

When life tries to knock you off your feet, when the problems keep coming, or when the tears won’t stop falling, look yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that you’ve been graced to carry. You can’t give up or turn back around.

Sis, you’ve been graced to carry! Carry yourself into a new level of prayer, fasting, and worship. Carry yourself into a new level of love, trust, and healing. Carry yourself into a new level of peace, joy, and happiness.

The way you carry yourself into the best season of your life is by surrendering all unto God and allow him to elevate you into a new level of grace. God has assigned you the child, husband, ministry, business, and work to carry out his will here on earth. He’s anointed you daughter to carry the assignment. Don’t drop it, carry it! Birth it out. Walk it out. Whatever you do, don’t neglect it, leave it, or run from it; carry it! Carry it boldly. Carry it with faith. Carry it with hope. Carry it with joy. Carry it with purpose.

Girl, you’ve been graced to carry.
Now carry on.
God’s Grace is sufficient for you.
