Matthew 14

Scripture

3 When I am overwhelmed,
you alone know the way I should turn.

Observation

David was considered a man after God’s own heart.  What does that mean?  He continually prayed and asked God for help and praised Him even when he was feeling overwhelmed by his difficulties.

Application

When I am overwhelmed, I want to do nothing.  I have so many things that need done that I can’t think of what to do so I get very tired and just do nothing.  The Bible says that when I am overwhelmed, God knows what I should do next.  He will lay out a plan for me so that I am not so overwhelmed.

Prayer

Lord, help me to remember to ask You for help always.  When I am feeling overwhelmed, remind me to take a deep breath and know that You will tell me what to do next.  Being overwhelmed is a state of fear, and because of Christ, I have nothing to fear.  Thank-you.
