When I'm feeling Overwhelmed

Recently, within the last few weeks, I find that if I dwell on all that has taken place in the lives of loved ones, I become overwhelmed.
"Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
There's a song we use to sing:

I will cast all my cares upon you.

I'll lay all my burdens down at you feet.

Anytime I don't know what to do.

I will cast all my cares upon you.

I chose the above picture because it gives me a sense of holding on to the only one who can make sense of it all. This is the place of peace, in the arms of Jesus.

God, my God, I cry out

Your beloved needs You now

God, be near calm my fears and take my doubt

Your kindness is what pulls me up

Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker

of the mountains I can't climb

I will lift my eyes to the Calmer

of the oceans raging wild

I will lift my eyes to the Healer

of the hurt I hold inside

I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let mercy sing

her melody over me

and God, right here all I bring

is all of me

Your kindness is what pulls me up

You love is all that draws me in

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1

I will cast my cares. I will lift up my eyes. I will hope for things not seen.
