The Whole Picture

Series: Think About What You Are Thinking About

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

I don’t know how your morning started, but if you’re already carrying the weight of a to-do list, pressure to perform, or just the feeling that you have to keep it all together, I want you to pause with me right here. Just for a moment. Breathe.

In this week’s prayer call, I shared something that’s been sitting heavy and holy in my spirit: God didn’t ask you to burn out for Him—He asked you to live for Him. That hit me in the middle of a moment where I realized I was running on fumes again. I had been busy, “faithful,” showing up in all the ways, but inside, I was disconnected… tired… numb. And God met me right there.

This conversation is an invitation to zoom out and look at the whole picture. To stop fragmenting your life—spiritual here, emotional over there, physical somewhere in the background—and remember that you were created to be whole. Formed from the dust and breathed into by God Himself. And He called all of it good.

Sometimes we’ve been taught that God only wants our praise, our gifting, our service—but not our exhaustion, our questions, or our anxiety. But what if those messy parts are the very places He’s longing to meet us?

This episode is a mindset reset for those of us who’ve been calling stress “strength,” who’ve been emotionally flatlined but spiritually busy, who’ve been carrying things God never asked us to hold. I shared how I’ve had to make a rhythm of putting things back on God’s plate. Every time I pick something up that isn’t mine, He gently reminds me, “You don’t have to carry that. You just have to be with Me.”

So today, I’m asking you what I asked myself,

How are you really doing?

What have you been thinking about yourself lately?

What parts of you have you been hiding because you thought they didn’t belong at the altar?

Friend, you don’t have to be perfect to be present. You don’t have to be fixed to be faithful. You’re not falling apart—you’re being invited to realign. And God is already waiting for you in that honest space.

Let this be your moment to think on purpose. To bring your whole self to the One who calls you good.

You Got This 💛
