When Commitment Feels Too Hard: Holding On When You Want to Let Go

Your Daily Walk to Commit To Being God's Daughter Matters

Commitment

Our commitment can’t be put on the sidelines.When it comes to stepping into something new—whether it’s trying a hobby, saying “yes” to marriage, or being chosen to lead a Bible study—it requires a committed heart.

In God’s truth, we are instructed to do everything as unto the Lord. That’s our reminder when life gets hard and we feel like calling it quits. When we start asking, “What did I get myself into? It’s not supposed to be this way.”

We question our value and worth—whether as a wife, a mom, or a daughter of God. We try to do it all, but life can make us feel like we’re falling behind.

This is where you, daughter, say: My commitment is greater than my emotions or my pain.I am committed to completing my race with my heart all in.

Life gives us hard blows that sweep us off our feet.That’s when we have to ask: Where does my trust lie?Is it in myself, or in my Heavenly Father?

As I imagine this, I see myself like an infant who has fallen. The utterance from the heart is a cry, seeking comfort: “Help me, help me.”

These, too, are the words of a daughter of God.He does not expect us to know every step of the way—but He does call us to commit to finish in faith.Where it seems impossible, that’s where God shows how possible it can be.

So, when weariness comes in, don’t let it keep you in a space of despair.Because being a daughter of

God—that was never meant to be a burden. That’s not His portion for you.

Here’s Why You Have to Tell Weariness to Go:

Mentally/Emotionally:

• Weakens motivation—even things you care about can feel like a burden.

• Can isolate you—you may pull away from others without even realizing it.

Physically:

• Weakens your immunity—you’re more likely to get sick.

• Disrupts sleep—you may feel too restless to rest.

Spiritually:

• Dulls your connection to God—you might struggle to hear His voice or feel His presence.

• Tempts you to give up—on your faith, your purpose, or your calling.

But being God’s daughter shouldn’t feel like an obligation—it’s a divine opportunity.An invitation to live the best life yet to come.God longs to see His daughters grow and become more like Him.

Let’s reframe our perspective.

Commitment to our day-to-day shouldn’t feel like a chore—it’s a chance to grow into the woman God has called us to be.

Ways to Overcome Weariness:

• Take deep breaths when you feel overwhelmed.

• Read the Word with anticipation that God’s heart will meet you in your situation.

• Face sickness with faith, knowing you’re not alone.

So the question becomes:What do you believe when life is narrating a different story than what you hoped to see?

I encourage you to commit and let God lead you.Weariness doesn’t have to get the best of you when it comes to a committed faith life.

Commitment should never be casual.Because waiting on God’s timing comes with a committed heart.

Let’s Look at Ruth

Ruth must have felt some weariness herself.Naomi, her mother-in-law, certainly wasn’t hiding hers—she voiced her grief, her exhaustion, and her fears about the future.

Ruth was in the same predicament as Naomi, yet she teaches us that the posture of our heart matters more than what we may feel or think.

God’s timing is always right. He never wavers in His promises.And Ruth saw that Naomi’s God carried a promise she needed in her life.

“Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay.Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.”— Ruth 1:16–17

Ruth was not only committed to the God Naomi knew but also to Naomi herself.

She carried a bold, lifelong commitment.Ruth didn’t flinch—she gave her whole heart.And God honored her faithfulness.

Ruth became the great-grandmother of King David and is listed in the very genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5).

Let this be a reminder:God doesn’t overlook your commitment. He sees it, blesses it, and uses it.

His servant,
