It's Too Much to Handle...

All of us at times can become overwhelmed with everything we have on our plate. Whether it's the mom with a newborn, parents with teenagers, a young family with mounting bills, or a businessman with deadlines. Pressures can build to the point of a person bursting. What's a person to do when in this scenario? Maybe it's to panic, freak out or even ignore it? Yes these are all options, although not very good ones. When I find myself in a situation or season that's heading down the road to becoming overwhelming, there's one thing I always do. And that's go to the Lord. Psalm 61:2-4 brings such peace and strength to me when it says, "I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge,  a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
Let me live forever in your sanctuary,  safe beneath the shelter of your wings!" God is my rock of safety! He's my safe refuge! My fortress that protects me from my enemies! It's in this place I'm safe in the shelter of His wings. Next time you're overwhelmed with life, make God the first one you run to and not the last. He's more than you need and is waiting for you :)
