 Source: If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed Today ... Remember This | Shae Tate (proverbs31.org) Excerpt: Reframing your thoughts doesn’t mean you ignore the reality of what you’re facing. It doesn’t mean you overlook hurt or abuse or discouragement or unanswered prayers. Reframing your thoughts isn’t a choice to ignore the realities of your situation. It’s a choice to factor God back into the equation. To remember who He is and what is true in the middle of what feels scary and overwhelming. Today, as you recall to mind what is true and instruct your soul to “forget not,” live comforted in the truth that God has not forgotten you. He hears your prayers. He’s listening. He’s doing more than you think He is. He’s here right now. And if all you can do this morning is show up with your needs, questions and hurting heart, that’s OK. God’s Truth-filled promises are still for you today no matter what you’re facing. Remember this today, friend. God, thank You for the promise that Your Word is true at all times. No matter what I’m walking through … no matter what I feel … no matter what is overwhelming me … You are the source of my strength and are my safe place for what is ultimately true. Remind me of what’s true, especially when I’m overwhelmed by what’s in front of me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. [more...] |
