Practical help for when my heart is overwhelmed

Bygatheryoursisters

When my heart is overwhelmed I cry out to God. If I am not able to step away from the situation I silently pray. If it is an issue with one of my children, I will pray out loud with and without them.

I want you to know that God truly does desire to bring us hope and healing, salvation, each and every single day, and in every moment. He wants to be our all and all.

When my mind is spiraling with all the negative thoughts, I know I can count on Him to help me. How?

Because His Word tells us in Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also give us all things.”

What a promise! I needed to hear this. In the midst of trials and tribulations and everyday hard moments I need this hope. God cares. God sees. God will help.

How to trust God in the unknowns of life

Bygatheryoursisters

Because of the sacrifice of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we do not have to wrestle alone. He understands. He meets us in this place of wandering. He calls us back to Himself. He is trustworthy sister. If you find yourself walking through a dark season of the soul, lean in close, “He will not leave you, He will not forsake you.” He cannot. We have been entrusted into His loving arms and He will not let us go. This is the good news of the gospel, no matter what happens in this life, Christ will never let go. He will see us through. And when we forget His lovingkindness will remind us, because Faithful is who He is.

How to keep moving forward when all hope seems lost

Bygatheryoursisters

The most beautiful picture I hold closely in my mind especially in seasons of hardship, is this tangible reminder, “even when I don’t have the capacity, strength to hold on, HE ALWAYS DOES!” It is His grip that matters most. Just as it is my grip that matters most when my little darlings are walking across the busy parking lot with me, even when they let go, my grip is firm, I will not let go. Father’s grip is all the greater, and He will not let go

When life feels uncertain, where is my hope found?

Bygatheryoursisters

When life feels uncertain, and the fear is whispering “He has forsaken you”, sister, I want you to speak out these words, whisper them if you must, but let your ears hear, let your heart receive, let your brain process these words, “Behold I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…” You are ever before Him. He is not calloused to your needs. He is not hardened to your cries. The psalmist below declared, “Because He bends down to listen I will pray as long as I have breath” Yes, there is hope today.

How to ask for help when life is overwhelming

Bygatheryoursisters

Many of us truly struggle with asking for help, but there is nothing like seeing God meet our very real needs. It is in our weakness that Gods power is made manifest in us! Not in our strength, not in our ability to grab life by the boot straps. It is in our weakness. In our inability to hold ourselves together.

Practical ways to walk in peace, goodbye overwhelm

Bygatheryoursisters

A lot of times in my life when I feel out of control I work overtime at the things I “feel” I can control, at the time, keeping a clean home. As we’ve added more children it has grown more difficult to do this, but I have also learned to not grow so angry over the shoes and toys scattered through out our home.
