Overwhelmed

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 61:2

Being a human is overwhelming at times
Too many problems,
Too many possible solutions
Too much giving in
Too easy to give up
Trying to walk uphill in which seems an impossible effort

Seems easy to cast your burdens upon the Lord
But it’s not that easy
That takes letting go of the problems, the burdens,
letting go of trying to fix them, trying to solve them
Seems weak to let them go
It’s actually very difficult to put them in God’s hands
He is capable and able and He did create the world
and all things we see, hear and know,
but to relinquish
what we have become accustomed to using our abilities to solve,
the way we have always done, is hard

It takes trust and knowing He’s faithful
and the only way we can really learn about trusting Him
is to trust Him with what we have always known to be our responsibility

Learning about how He has helped others in His word
will bring us closer to the true trust, the true faith,
where we really can trust Him with our burdens
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17

Sounds so easy
It’s not
It’s much easier said than done
it takes practice, it takes resolve, it takes determination and it takes humility
The reward is great once we get there, if we ever truly can get there
Some things are easier to let go of than others
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
 weak. Matthew 26:41

Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when He shall appear, we shall be like Him;
for we shall see Him as He is
. 1 John 3:2
Until then, we can strive and try and trust and do our best to obey
He will reward our efforts
and we remember that we are not the same caliber as God
and the best we can do is our best
