Are you feeling overwhelmed?

I know as a Pastor's wife many times I hear people express feelings of being overwhelmed.  I not only have heard this many times but many times I have felt this way myself. 

Today I wanted to share with everyone what I have learned about this.

Notice in the title I used the word "feeling".  When I "feel" over whelmed, it feels like I have all this pressure on me to perform and it is more than I can handle.   When I feel overwhelmed, if I will just take a few minutes to examine what is going on I can get that feeling of pressure off of me. 

First of all I know this feeling of pressure is never from God.  The Holy Spirit leads us, he never pushes us, so I establish that in my mind first.

Second I pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help. Help me get my priorities straight, get my mind settled down and get back over in peace.

  Then I start writing down what the important things are that I need to get done.  Once I have gone through these steps I can formulate a plan and be effective again.

Tomorrow I will continue this teaching and we will talk about how important your words are when you feel overwhelmed.
