Bible verses about being overwhelmed
When feeling overwhelmed and stressed out instead of focusing on the problem put your focus on God. Trust in God and His promise that He will always be there for you. Sometimes we just need to stop everything and work wiser. We need to stop working so hard and rely on the power of God.
We cast so much doubt on the power of prayer. The television won’t help you, but being alone with God will.
There is a special peace that you are missing out on if you don’t pray. God will help you. Stop putting prayer off.
You need to be reading Scripture daily as well. When I read Scripture I always seem to gain more strength and encouragement from the mighty Breath of God. May these Scripture quotes help.
