When My Heart Is Overwhelmed

“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2

There is a Rock, unshakable, unchanging, unmoved by storms. That Rock is Jesus. When your heart is overwhelmed, don’t try to figure everything out on your own. Don’t pretend to be strong. Run to the One who is. Let Him lift you above the chaos, above the flood of emotions, into a place of peace.

Lord, when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to You. Be my Rock, my Refuge, and my strength. Help me to rest in Your presence and trust in Your peace. I can’t do it all, but I don’t have to, because You are with me. Amen.
