Feeling overwhelmed isn’t necessarily an indication that we have too much to do. Our first response should be to pray and give our cares to Christ. When we realize we can’t handle our own life, we don’t have to panic; instead, we can rest in our dependence on our loving and faithful God. Feeling overwhelmed is a reminder that we can’t do our life in our own power, so we need to stop and ask Christ to give us clarity and wisdom, joy and strength. If we cut back to only what we can do on our own, without Christ, we will be limiting God’s calling on our life.
