I am feeling a bit overwhelmed this week, but as I try to keep pushing forward, I will remember these verses.
I hope that these verses (and this prayer) help you as well.
Scriptures
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12 ESV
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7 NIV (From the Prophet Azariah to Asa)
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 ESV
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might, He increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40 28-31 ESV
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows those who take refuge in him. Nahum 1:7 ESV
The Word of the LORD
My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
Exodus 33:14 ESV
A Prayer for When You Feel Overwhelmed
Declaration
I am blessed because I trust in the Lord. My confidence in Him. I will not fear when the heat comes, nor will I worry in the year of drought because my confidence is in God.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
I will be strong and not give up because, in due time, my work will be rewarded.
2 Chronicles 15:7
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I am currently feeling overwhelmed, tired, and restless, but I hand over all my anxieties and cares to you because I know that you are Lord of the Sabbath, and in you, I can obtain true rest. I ask that you continue to strengthen me as I go throughout the day.
I pray that as I wait on your direction, you renew my strength and equip me with your grace to remain steadfast in trials. I pray that I do not grow weary in my walk with you, for in due season, I will reap the crown of life if I continue to strive with your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus name, Amen
Signed,
