no doubt there are
people reading this who are overwhelmed.
you may be overwhelmed by fatigue – you’re really tired. you may be overwhelmed by loneliness and
there’s an ache inside your heart. or
any other number of things that could be overwhelming. regardless.
let go of control, let other people help, let GOD give you
strength.
if you will do these
three things, you will find yourself developing the attitude of micah. micah was an old testament prophet and he
went through a period of despair and he said this: micah 7.1 & 7
(msg), i’m overwhelmed with sorrow, sunk in a
swamp of despair. but me, i’m not giving
up. i’m sticking around to see what GOD will
do. i’m waiting for GOD to make things
right.
let’s pray,
FATHER,
i pray for those here on the front porch today who feel overwhelmed. overwhelmed with responsibilities, time
demands, deadlines, weighed down by worries, plagued by problems. help them to experience new strength and
energy today.
now
you pray this prayer in your heart, in your mind. “FATHER, i know i need to stop trying to
control the uncontrollable. it’s a waste
of time. so right now, once again, i’m
letting go. i’m asking you to take
charge of the situation and take control of my life. JESUS, i need you in my life. forgive me for all the times i act like it
all depends on me. it doesn’t. help me to let go of my pride and allow other
people to help me. i want to be
connected to your family so i can receive support and i can give it to
others. help me to remember to praise
you and to think about your word when i feel overwhelmed. in JESUS’ name I pray. amen.”
just a thought from
the front porch…
