“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” – Psalm 61:2
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life? Everyone has experienced it at times. Occasionally, things go wrong, we panic, and we lose control. Life problems are overwhelming because there is too much happening, we cannot cope with it. It feels like everyone is pressuring us, even if they are not. We feel lost or that other people are weighing us down.
There are times when we wish our lives were simpler, free from stress and struggles. Despite this, most of us struggle to keep our heads above water between school, work, family, and the rest of life’s responsibilities.
We might not understand why we feel so hopeless. And this is where a friend who can listen without judging comes in, an honest friend who lets us talk about our feelings. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, there is a Rock that is higher, this rock being the Almighty. So if we ever feel the urge to run away, go for it! Don’t hesitate to run into the strong arms of Jesus, who is our Strength, our Rock, and our Refuge. As we are immersed in the truth of His Word and in His sanctuary, all the stress that we felt was so big, will suddenly look like a pebble and shrink down.
