Sometimes life can be overwhelmingBut you don't have to feel overwhelmed! Here are some thoughts on what to do when life makes you say, "Are you kidding me? More?"I found an amazing list of scriptures, and I can't do a better job than this blogger named Haley Walker did in compiling them:Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. Jeremiah 31:25He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:29My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26For who is God besides The Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. Psalm 18:31-32Yes, my soul, find rest in God, my hope comes from Him. Psalm 62:5I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13H
