The Pressure To Be Strong

In this heartfelt episode of 10 Minutes In-Courage-Meant Just for You, listeners are given permission to lay down the exhausting pressure to always be strong. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 and Isaiah 40:29–31, the message gently but powerfully reminds us: God’s strength isn’t found in our performance—it’s revealed in our weakness.

The episode explores the beauty of surrender, the safety of being honest with God, and the freedom that comes when we stop pretending we have it all together. Through Paul’s testimony and Isaiah’s encouragement, we’re shown that God doesn’t ask us to fake strength—He offers real strength to the weary and worn out.

Whether you’re tired from holding others up, trying to be “okay,” or pushing through pain in silence, this episode is a breath of fresh grace. It invites you to stop striving and start receiving. Because God’s power doesn’t wait for perfection—it meets us right in our most vulnerable moments.
