Do you ever start out by having a great day and getting a lot accomplished and then all of a sudden one thing makes you feel completely overwhelmed? I felt that way today. It is definitely not the first time but I haven't felt that way in quite a while. It's so crazy to think that one little thing can make you feel this way.
What causes this?
How do I stop it from happening?
As much as I'd like to say that I immediately run to the Lord with my feeling of being overwhelmed, I honestly don't always do that. I shut down and get irritable and close everyone around me out. As I sit and think about the situation I am reminded of so many scriptures that can help with this very thing.
" Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad." Proverbs 12:25 - surround yourself by things and people who are going to encourage you when you are struggling.
" What, then shall we say in response to thes things? If God is for us, who can be against us." Romans 8:31 - this is such a truthful verse. Nothing in this world can destroy us if we have Christ by our side.
I pray that the next time I begin struggling with this that I seek Christ and not try to fix it on my own.
Music Monday!
Dave Barnes "God Gave Me You"
This song is a great reminder of what I have truly been blessed with by having an amazing husband, family and support system.
When I hear this song I realize that nothing I face can even compare to what Christ overcame.
Have a wonderful week!
His will be done,
Katie
