Does that feeling even exist? I'm overwhelmed with life and I try to ignore it by pretending my overwhelmed feelings don't exist. But you know how that goes, you eventually crack. And that's what happened last night. And now that I'm laying in bed again, my mind runs a million miles an hour and those overwhelming thoughts start to creep in... So I turned to my Living Word app (highly recommend) and this is what came up:
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
I have the choice. Run with my overwhelming thoughts and get paralyzed with fear, weariness, etc... Or I can choose peace. His peace that transcends all man's understanding. Oh Lord give me grace to choose peace!
