I am struggling with overwhelmness...

Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Psalm 34:17-19 The righteous cry and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as he of contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Isaiah 40:28-29 Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might, he increaseth strength.

My favorite verse I use when I;m overwhelmed is found in my sig. It's helps me like no other. I pray it helps you. God Bless.

In Christ,

Whatever is overwhelming you the Joy of the Lord is your strength. And God is bigger than whatever it is that is making you feel this way.
God is faithful and he is going to walk you through this.

Praying for you smurfy.

Hi smurf
what do you feel is the source of you becoming overwhelmed? Sometimes if we can work on a solution to that the rest falls into place...
Love ya~

I loved the way when times of despair slowly go away. It gives you a feeling of being set free by God. So whatever entrappment you're going through right now, ask God for help. I get these feelings too sometimes. If the devil tempts you just kick him in the balls and walk your way.

At one point or another we have all felt a little overwhelmed. Sometimes it feels as though there is never enough time during the day. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are only one person. Take a few moments each and everyday to treat yourself to a bit of kindness. Unfortunately, there are times we are our own worst enemy. Do something simple for yourself so you feel regenerated. Take a nice warm bubble bath. For thirty minutes close yourself up in your bedroom or another peaceful spot in your home. No distractions. Reflect for a moment all the good things happening in your life. Don't let your mind wander to thoughts of what you should be doing. Have an intimate talk with God, allowing yourself the opportunity to hand your worries over to Him. He tells us to cast all our cares on Him, so do just that. So what if the bed doesn't get made until after lunch. So what if you didn't clean the toilet or wash the dog. Usually we find out that all these 'important' things we MUST get done are not so important after all. Enjoy life, your family and yourself. You won't be much good to anyone if your not first good to yourself.

Hey!
Read Psalm 119:81. David wasn't doing so hot when he wrote that. But he had hope. So in spite of your despair, Believe that God is still good and that eventually you will get through it. We all have to go through darkness.

I know how it is to feel overwhelmed. How are you feeling today hon?

Psalm 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD ;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.

Anywayzzzzz the father of the baby he said that he believe in God, But that he just like to read about other believes and others gods, and then he'll come try to tell what he just learn. I tell he that with he is not talking about my daddy the one who saved you and me, that I did want to hear it and ofcourse he gets really MAD about and tells me that all the books that he reads are all talking about the same God. I know he is wanting to find out the trueth about God. He said that 4 Months ago he got saved. And I know that we as christians are not to say Who GOD calls...........OOOOOOOOHHH and another thing we don't live together BUT HE WANTS TO....... I told him that I am trying to live a better life for GOD now, I want people to know with out even talking to me that I have CHRIS in me.
He's been asking me to move in with him and to marry him for 1 year now,But keep saying NO because I want to be with some one that truely Loves the Lord with all there heart and soul.BECAUSE It becames to easy to go the other way for me if I don't have some one the can tell when this is happening. BUT THEN I THINK wellllllll he is the father of our baby and I do love him very much. I do want to marry him and I do want to go live with Him. What Should I do?
