What to Do When You Feel Overwhelmed

Anxiety is not of God. He did not give us a spirit of fear. He is not a God of confusion, He’s the giver of peace.

1. Spend time in prayer and reflection

Philippians 4:6-7

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.”

The peace of God is a byproduct of prayer.

Get right with God, you will think clearer, process quicker and smoother and you’re less likely to feel off balance and out of control.

2. Get organized 

Do a brain dump.

Prioritize.

Don’t work for your schedule, make your schedule work for you.

Have a vision, pursue freedom of time.

3. invest in yourself!!

Even Jesus retreated! Don’t feel guilty about it. Find some hobbies!

4. Be intentional. Find what’s most important. You cannot say yes to everyone. Jesus wasn’t manipulated, guilted into stretching himself too thin!

Find your purpose and thrive there!!! 

5. Find a safe space to unplug.

Rest vs. Resting in Him
