When Everything Feels Like It's Too Much to Handle

As a Christian, we are not alone in our struggles. We can find comfort in knowing that God is sovereign over all creation, and He is working everything out for our good (Romans 8:28). However, when everything feels like it's too much to handle, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. In these moments, it's essential to remember that we have a choice. We can choose to focus on things that are important, true, and good, rather than things that feel urgent but are ungodly. This requires self-control, which can be waylaid by not wanting it or saying "no" to things that are not in line with God's will.

In order to keep going when everything feels like it's too much to handle, we must address our personal roadblocks. This involves breaking habits that are holding us back, setting standards for ourselves, and seeking help from others when needed. It's also crucial to remember the grace of God and the power of His Word. We can memorize promises from Scripture that will help us become victorious over our struggles. For example, "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). By choosing to focus on God's promises and living a life that reflects Christian values, we can find the strength and courage to keep going, even when everything feels like it's too much to handle.

Ultimately, keeping going when everything feels like it's too much to handle requires a deep trust in God's sovereignty and a commitment to living a life that honors Him. This means being willing to take small steps towards change, even when it's difficult. It means being patient and persevering, and seeking help from others when needed. As the Bible says, "We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4). By choosing to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when everything feels like it's too much to handle, we can find the strength and courage to keep going and live a life that reflects His love and goodness.
