Psalm 61:1-3
O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
The Psalmist is crying out to God, “I cry out to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed.”
We can all related to feeling overwhelmed. But, many of us can look to different numbing agents to battle overwhelm: drinking, drugs, or even binge watching Netflix, pornography, isolation, sleeping, food.
When your heart is overwhelmed, where does it lead you?
You can change where you go when your heart is overwhelmed, and this can change everything for you. It begins by changing your prayer life, moving beyond surface-level talk with God, and getting real with God. Get real with God today about what you're up against, and make that your habit this week.
