When Im Overwhelmed

Published: May 16, 2020, midnight

b'\\u201cWhat should I do? What if this doesn\\u2019t turn out? What will I do next?\\u201d\\nThese questions are overwhelming. It\\u2019s easy to start overthinking everything and become stressed out about the decisions we haveto make, both big and small. It\\u2019s easy to be worried about the future and how each decision is going to affect our lives.\\nWhen I begin to feel overwhelmed, I try to take a step back and remind myself God is in control. God has taken care of me all my life, and I don\\u2019t have to worry about the future because He is already there.\\nOne of my favorite verses in the Bible is in the Psalms, in chapter 61. When he is growing faint and overwhelmed, David prays, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Lead me to the rock that is higher than I\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (verse 2). That Rock is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.\\nIn Christ, we are never alone (Matthew 28:20). We don\\u2019t have to be afraid. Even when a lot is going on in our lives, even when we need to make decisions, or even when something goes wrong, we can still trust Him. When we get overwhelmed, we can run to the Rock that is higher than we are. \\u2022 Bethany Acker\\n\\u2022 What makes you feel overwhelmed? \\n\\u2022 Read Matthew 28:20 and John 14:15-17. As a Christian, why are you never alone? \\n\\u2022 Read Hebrews 4:14-16 and 1 Peter 5:7. Why can you bring anything that overwhelms you to Jesus?\\n\\u2022 In Christ, we have a family of brothers and sisters who also know Him. We are not made to walk alone, especially when we\\u2019re overwhelmed (Galatians 6:1-10). If you\\u2019re feeling overwhelmed, who are trusted Christians in your life you can talk with?\\nFrom the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2 (WEB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPsalm 61:1-5'
