Is Being Overwhelmed Worth it?

Do you know how it feels to be overwhelmed? You know where the weight of your own problems are about to crush you, then one of your kids calls or an aging parent calls and you find out a new level of overwhelm.

Do you realize, God is never overwhelmed. Never once since time began, did God become overwhelmed. Never once before time began was God ever overwhelmed. God does not get overwhelmed. 

When God invites us to cast our cares on Him, we should. The very face the Judge of the whole earth asked me to tell him what overwhelms me should be enough for me to do so.

What overwhelms you? Why manage it yourself? He exchanges your overwhelm for His care.

1 Peter 5:7 “…casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
