What Does God Say When I'm Overwhelmed?
When you're overwhelmed, God says: 'Come to Me, and I will give you rest.' He doesn't expect you to have it all together. He invites you to bring your exhaustion and overwhelm directly to Him.
What Scripture Says
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28"From the ends of the earth I call out to You, whenever my heart grows faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
Psalm 61:2"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble."
Psalm 46:1"We are pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair."
2 Corinthians 4:8Going Deeper
