Your Question:
How can i take care of myself when i'm so overwhelmed?
Answer:
As someone who has experienced the weight of responsibility as a pastor and a husband, I understand what it's like to feel overwhelmed. When I'm feeling burdened, I remind myself that I'm not alone in this struggle. I turn to God's Word for guidance and comfort. I've found that memorizing promises like "No temptation has overtaken you except through what is common to mankind" (1 Corinthians 10:13) can be a powerful tool in my walk with God. I also try to surround myself with wise people who can offer support and guidance. My wife Susan is a constant source of encouragement, and I'm grateful for her counsel. I've also found that spending time with others who share my faith can be a great source of strength. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that community can have on someone's life. When we're feeling overwhelmed, it's easy to get isolated, but God didn't intend for us to walk this journey alone. In times of overwhelm, I try to focus on the present moment and take things one step at a time. I remind myself that God gives us strength for the moment, not for the future. I've learned to be intentional about my time with God, setting aside dedicated time for prayer and reflection. I also try to prioritize my tasks and focus on the main thing that God wants me to do. By doing so, I'm able to find a sense of peace and clarity that helps me navigate even the most challenging situations.
