Oh this life of mine. Will it ever calm down? I'm so overwhelmed right now. I have World Race deadlines and to do's popping up every day. I constantly fight the urge to cry over family problems. I work two jobs 5-6 days a week and when I'm not working, I'm working. I can't seem to find the time… for anything. I am fighting my addictions as hard as I can but I'm growing weary of the fight. I feel like at any moment I am going to break. The thread I am hanging by is about to unravel at last. This can't be real life. I just know I'm about to wake up and it's all going to be a bad dream.
But it's not a dream. It's real life. My problems are real. My schedule is real. My addiction are real. This is for real batman. This is for real and I am too weak to handle it. But you know what? I don't have to be strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 teaches me that God's grace is sufficient for me and that His power is made perfect in my weakness. I am weak but He is strong. Can I get an Amen?
I am so overwhelmed with life. I don't know that it will ever calm down. But praise be to The Most High. Life doesn't have to calm down for me to have peace. Philippians 4 teaches that I have no need to be anxious about anything. But through prayer, and thanksgiving to God I can have peace.
How wonderful is my God, that He would be my strength and give me peace that surpasses my understanding. How wonderful is He, that He would bother.
