My precious Lord I feel overwhelmed today, busy, overpowered, helpless, and overcome by all the things that are going on in my life. I am drowning. Beneath me is a huge mess of what’s going on in my life. I understand overwhelmed means a strong feeling a great amount that’s going on in life. I don’t want to run by negative emotions: sadness, persistent anger, fear, anxiety, guilt and depression. Sometimes these feelings I don’t even realize are in my life. I just start reacting to them. Lord, I’m asking You that I find guidance in this. Help me find a healthy outlet. Let me see the bigger picture. Help me to replace my negative thoughts with positive thoughts and to forgive myself for my emotional happenings. Show me what my emotional triggers are. Help me to meditate and take a moment to be still and see what is going on. Be kind to myself and others. Give me the strength to focus on my breathing and to take a step back and look at the situation. Help me to take my anger to You and my pain and understand what’s going on. “Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:1-2 Lord, I know some of my emotions are operating unconsciously. Help me understand which ones they are and find self-control in these emotions. I can control these emotions through You, Lord, who will strengthen me to do so. Give me whatever I need Lord to watch what I’m saying. Don’t let me be quick to respond with anger or bitterness. If I’m sad, let me admit my feelings. Lord, when I have too much of something going on in my life and I don’t know exactly how to handle it, please step in and give me experience and help me depend on You to get through this. Amen. “For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.” Psalm 61:3-4 Lord, help me to meditate and take a moment and be still and lean on You and talk to You about what is going on. Help me to postpone anything that doesn’t really need to be done and put the priority first. Set realistic goals and give to other people and allocate some of the stuff that needs to be done. Lord, when I feel that something is too difficult to deal with and I feel like I don’t know how to handle it, Lord, You go before me and You show me the way. You guide me and direct me. Lord, when I’m almost done with grief, the things that are going on in my life, help me to put these in Your hand and ask for Your guidance and directions. Lord, when depression and stress comes into my life, help me to get understanding in this and clear my mind and put You first. Amen.
“Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.” Psalm 31:2-3 Your Servant Forever, Carol
