Are You Feeling Overwhelmed?
Feeling overwhelmed is something everyone experiences….some of us more than others.
I get hundreds of emails and messages from women who are overwhelmed, struggling with depression and feeling hopeless. I wish I could have each of you over for an iced tea with Sonic ice and some real fellowship.
I’m here to share some hope with you. This week’s YouTube video has 3 tips for what to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed and depressed. I can’t take away your problems, but I can tell you what works for me when I feel that ugly old hopelessness creeping in.
Matthew 19:26 “But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
John 13:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”
Psalm 28:7 “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.”
Psalm 142:3 “When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn.”
Psalm 61:2 ” 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.”
I am praying for you…even if I don’t know you, God does.
Love this! Great advice and I feel in this overwhelmed state often. Know all the right things in my head but love the reminders and practical narrowing down to important things that help! Also, LOVE LOVE LOVE the verses you posted here. So helpful in the best way as the Spirit uses that in our hearts. Just wanted to encourage you and let you know how much you encourage me! <3 Love you!

So needed to hear this today!!! Thank you!
I am soon to be 61 years old. Over the last 3 years I lost my dream home, my husband divorced me and I experienced a terrible empty nest syndrome. I try to be happy and do what is right but I feel like I am dying inside I am so lost and sad. How do I go about rebuilding my life? Thank you.
