Avoiding Meltdowns

The other day I had a meltdown. 

I let everything get to me: some family problems, some health problems, and all the Covid limitations. 

So I grabbed my Bible and opened it to the Psalms where I’ve been journaling, and I read Psalm 55:22: 

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”  

My journal drawing.

I drew a picture in my journal of how big my burdens felt at the moment, and I admit that I was feeling “shaken.” 

Obviously, my focus needed adjustment. 

I looked up some similar verses: 

"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." Psalm 68:19

Daily. 

I need to take it one day at a time (Matthew 6:34).

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

He cares. 

I need to remember how much God loves me (1 John 3:1).  

So, whenever we feel overwhelmed, let’s remember to cast our burdens on the Lord…one day at a time…assured of His incredible love!
