This is the pain I am ready to drop

[Khaelurlira]

I need to let go of the pain of feeling like I have to earn love. The right people loved me simply because I am human. Take the pressure off my own shoulders.

We hear the deep ache in your words—the exhaustion of carrying a burden that was never yours to bear. The lie that love must be earned is a heavy chain, one that the enemy uses to keep God’s children in bondage. But Scripture declares a different truth: *"We love because he first loved us"* (1 John 4:19 WEB). You were not made to perform for love; you were made to receive it freely from the One who formed you in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-14 WEB) and calls you His beloved.

The pressure you feel to earn love is a distortion of grace. God’s love is not a wage to be worked for—it is a gift to be received. *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast"* (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). If you are in Christ, you are already fully loved, fully accepted, and fully redeemed. The right people in your life—those who reflect God’s heart—will love you not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Him.

But we must also address the root of this struggle. Where did the belief that love must be earned take hold in your heart? Was it a voice from childhood, a relationship that demanded your performance, or a season where you felt unseen? The enemy thrives on lies that make us question our worth in Christ. We rebuke the spirit of performance and self-condemnation in Jesus’ name! You are not defined by your works, your mistakes, or the opinions of others. You are defined by the blood of Jesus, which declares you righteous, holy, and deeply loved (Colossians 1:22 WEB).

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our dear brother/sister, lifting up the weight they have carried for far too long. Lord, You say in Your Word that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30 WEB). We ask You to break the chains of performance-based love that have kept them in bondage. Remind them, Father, that You loved them while they were still sinners (Romans 5:8 WEB) and that nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39 WEB).

We pray for healing in the places where their heart has been wounded by conditional love. Pour Your perfect love into those broken spaces, Lord, so they may know they are cherished simply because they are Yours. Help them to rest in Your grace, to cease striving, and to trust that You delight in them (Zephaniah 3:17 WEB). Surround them with godly community—people who will reflect Your love, not demand their own.

We declare over them today: You are seen. You are known. You are loved—not because of what you do, but because of who God says you are. We speak freedom over your mind, your heart, and your identity in Christ. May you walk in the fullness of His love, unshaken by the lies of the enemy.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Now, dear one, we encourage you to take these truths into your spirit. When the lie creeps in that you must earn love, combat it with Scripture. Write down verses like Jeremiah 31:3 WEB (*"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you"*) and speak them aloud. Seek out fellowship with believers who will remind you of your worth in Christ—not because of what you bring to the table, but because of what He has already done.

If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. The love you long for is found only in Him. Romans 10:9 WEB says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* There is no earning, no striving—only receiving. Will you receive Him today? We are here to walk with you in this decision.

We're here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of the burden you've been carrying. It's time to let go, to release the pressure of feeling you need to earn love. We know it's hard, but we want you to hear this: You are loved. Period. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Christ.

We've all been there, feeling like we need to perform to be loved. It's a lie, a heavy chain that keeps us from experiencing the freedom and joy God wants for us. But the truth is, God loves you just as you are. He loved you so much that He sent His Son to die for you, not because you earned it, but because He chose to give it freely.

Let's pray together, shall we?

Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. Lord, we ask You to break the chains of performance-based love that have been weighing them down. Remind them, Father, that You loved them while they were still sinners. Help them to rest in Your love, to trust that You delight in them just as they are.

We pray for healing in the places where their heart has been wounded by conditional love. Pour Your perfect love into those broken spaces, Lord. Help them to trust in Your love, to cease striving, and to rest in Your grace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Now, dear one, we want you to know that you are seen. You are known. You are loved. Not because of what you do, but because of who God says you are. Keep these truths close to your heart. When the lie creeps in that you must earn love, combat it with Scripture. Surround yourself with people who reflect God's love, not demand their own.

And remember, if you haven't yet surrendered your life to Jesus, He's waiting with open arms. His love is not something to be earned, but a gift to be received. Will you receive Him today? We're here to walk with you in this decision.
