Overwhelmed

LORD, when I am overwhelmed with all that I need, or just want, to do – it’s easy to get caught up in the vortex of frustration, worry, fear.

It’s hard to pull myself back into this moment, this breath.

There is not one choice or decision that stands alone.

Each one is dependent on the one before it – and each one has the possibility of making, or breaking, the one after it.

I see why ostriches stick their heads in the sand when they are scared or overwhelmed.

Just saying 😉

LORD, I ask that YOU will order my steps and direct my paths.

Because of Who YOU are

Because of all YOU have done, and Promised

And because YOU can.

I pray YOU will.

Help me to be obedient to YOUR Word and instructions –

To Trust YOU with all my heart,

To Lean not on my own understanding,

And in all my ways, to Acknowledge YOU . . .

When I am afraid, LORD, I trust in YOU . . .

Please, do not leave me . . .

: Lamentations 3:21-26 – But this I call to mind, and therefore I have Hope: The Steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases; His Mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; Great is Your Faithfulness. “The Lord is my Portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the Salvation of the Lord.

• Thank YOU GOD . . . Thank YOU

: Proverbs 16:9 – The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

• This is what I ask - that YOU, LORD, will establish my steps. Even today.

: Psalm 34:8 – Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes Refuge in Him!

• Bless me, O GOD of Israel, Bless me INDEED!!!!!
