A Prayer When I am Overwhelmed

​Lord, I am overwhelmed...
But, Lord, You are my rock.

And I know that I've failed to simply be with you this week.
Forgive me for neglecting the One Thing that matters most;
Forgive me for getting wrapped up in the days, instead of getting wrapped up in You.

Lord, I am overwhelmed...
to the point of physical stress.
I don't know the answers, but You do.
​
And so I come to you...
Knowing that despite my failures, You will never fail me.
Knowing that you are full of compassion and forgiveness.
Knowing that you have a plan in all of this.
Knowing that you can redeem every hard thing.

Father, thank You that you have given me a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Hopelessness is not an option for those who follow a King who barreled out of the grave after being dead for three days. 

I will confidently put one foot in front of the other, knowing that You go before me, and you stand beside me in every decision and situation that I face today.

You are my joy, and you are my peace. In You I lack no good thing.​
`
I trust in You...
because I have experienced your love and your faithfulness.
Now, Lord, do it again.
