Today's devotion included the following verse:
"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
Which prompts me to write about how perfectly this goes with my life right now. I am a bit overwhelmed. However, this is not new news... I get overwhelmed quite easily. This past week I went to the beach with my family, which includes my grandmother who recently had a series of medical problems. Prior to her stroke, grandma was the strongest and most independent woman. She did not receive help from others. She was the best single mother to my dad and uncle. However, now she needs a lot of help. I love to help people, especially the ones I care about the most. Well, grandma did not want my help and she made it very clear. This caused me to get very overwhelmed. Who doesn't want the ones they love to help them? The better question that I'm sure she is asking herself is... why does my granddaughter have to help me? Thus, we are both overwhelmed.
The GRE. I take it on August 13th... I don't need to go in depth about why this overwhelms me. It's a test. I dislike tests. The score I make on that determines whether I get into grad school.
I graduate in 4 months. WHAT?! I just started college. I have been and am so ready to graduate and move on to the next phase of life. However, woah... it's coming... very fast.
But, we are told to turn to Jesus. He will lead us to the rock of safety. He will give us renewed hope. We put our faith in Him and He provides. He died on the cross for us. His grace saves us.
so here's to relying on Jesus a lot more and being less overwhelmed
