Feeling Overwhelmed?
Welcome to reality. There are more things before me in a day than I could ever do. How do I handle that? On top of just the tasks you can always add maintaining and building healthy relationships with family and friends. On top of tasks, and human relationships you can add spiritual growth and maturity, our relationship with God. That is enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed. What do wo do?
The world says use the Mood App. Perhaps that will help, whatever that app is supposed to do. It says don’t consume caffeine or sugary sweets. If none of that works try Yoga, Eastern Meditation, or deep breathing.
The world offers a band aid solution to the feeling of being overwhelmed. God says simply let go of trying to do it all yourself and let me help you. First thing in the morning spend time with God, tell Him your situation, ask for His help and guidance to prioritize the day ahead and then let go!
David’s son Absalom was out to kill him. Did anxiety or fear consume David’s every thought? Listen to how David spent his nights.
“I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.” Psalm 3:1-3 NIV
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 NIV
God is always by our side. He will do for us what no one else can do when feeling overwhelmed. Give us peace.
