They Told You God Wants Your Success (But He Just Wants YOU)

Have you been told that your worth is tied to how much you achieve? That God expects endless productivity, constant performance, and nonstop hustle to be pleased with you?
What if that’s a lie?
In this powerful prayer, we confront the toxic pressure to perform and rediscover the heart of God—a Father who isn’t after your perfection or productivity… but after YOUR PRESENCE. This is for the weary, the overworked, and the ones who feel like they’re never doing enough.
Experience the breakthrough of resting in God's love, not for what you do, but for WHO YOU ARE.
We’ll pray through Scripture, reflect on the story of Mary and Martha, Elijah's exhaustion, and Jesus’ example of quiet rest. You’ll walk away feeling lighter, closer to God, and reminded of a timeless truth:
GOD WANTS YOU—NOT YOUR TO-DO LIST.
Whether you're struggling with burnout, identity in your role, or guilt for slowing down, this prayer will help you surrender that pressure and step into true rest and intimacy with God. Let Him meet you in the stillness today.
🌿 Perfect For:
• Christian burnout recovery
• Rest and intimacy with God
• Letting go of performance-based faith
• Spiritual encouragement for busy believers
• Sabbath reflection and soul care
🙏 Pause. Breathe. Let this prayer carry you into the arms of your Father.
