A prayer for the overwhelmed by Jennifer Rothschild.

From the ends of the earth I cry to you for help. Jennifer Rothschild.

From the ends of the earth I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed.

Lead me to the towering rock of safety.

Psalm 61, 2.

Sometimes we can't change all the stuff in our lives

that feels bigger than we can handle.

But whatever feels bigger than you

is still puny compared to the rock that is higher than you.

When I feel flat out overwhelmed and underqualified and out of sorts, I'm learning not to run away

from my stress. I'm also learning not to run to a bag of chocolate.

Instead, I'm learning to run to God, to His Word, in the overwhelming middle of my stress. When I run to God's word, even just one

God is my refuge.
