Beloved, life can be hectic and overwhelming sometimes with responsibilities and things that we need to accomplish. To say that it has been a long week is putting it mildly. It’s been one thing after another. And we need to find coping mechanisms to help us refocus and find time to rest otherwise it could have an adverse effect on us and our health.
I don’t know about you, spending time alone with the Lord and meditating on the Word of God brings solace and relaxation to my soul.. Here are some of the scriptures that God has used to help me over the years.
From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]. For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, A strong tower against the enemy. – Psalms 61:2-3 AMP
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30 AMP
You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. “Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner], For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]. – Isaiah 26:3-4 AMP
In addition to meditating on scriptures, I tell God about any and all things that overwhelm me. I give them to Him and exchange them for God’s peace that transcends all understanding. (Philippians 4:6-7)
LET US PRAY
Gracious Father, thank You for being there whenever we need You.
Thank You for Your comforting Word. Thank You for giving us Your peace that transcends all understanding when we are overwhelmed. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen 
Have a blessed day
