“I can’t take any more, this is too hard for me to carry. I am overwhelmed, I can’t go on.”
Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever said those things? What about when your finances are not enough, when you have health issues, when you have family issues, when you are so burdened in your spirit for others and it is all at the same time?
It can be too much to carry, too much to handle, too much to carry on. What can you do?
That is when we need to turn to the Lord! Matthew 11:28-30 (NAS) “Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My load is light.”
Also Philippians 4:6-7 (NAS) Be anxious (worry) for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God , which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
When our circumstances are overwhelming, we need to hand them over to God. How? By prayer, by going to Him in faith and giving it over to Him. Ask for Him to take the burdens and heartaches from you and believe He will. Then leave them there, don’t keep picking them up. Seek Him, pray and believe and trust. He has got this. He will give you strength and peace to keep on keeping on!
