Why Feeling Overwhelmed Happens

Feeling overwhelmed does not mean you are weak. It means you are human. God understands the weight you carry and invites you to bring every burden to Him.

A Prayer When You Feel Overwhelmed

Heavenly Father,

Right now, my heart feels heavy.
The weight of today feels more than I can handle.

I bring every worry, fear, and responsibility to You.
Quiet my anxious thoughts.
Slow my racing mind.

Remind me that I am not alone.
Help me take one step at a time,
trusting that You are walking with me.

Fill me with Your peace and strength.
I place everything in Your hands.

Amen.
