When Your Heart Is Overwhelmed
October 16, 2014|Satin Pelfrey
I can’t speak for you, but right now, my heart is completely overwhelmed!
Many things weigh heavy on my heart and mind, so Psalm 61:2 is a verse I am warmly embracing.
People I love…
Trying to be brave and strong on the outside, while crumbling on the inside; afraid, yet clinging to Jesus.
People I love…
Being handed their last paychecks, while bills pile up and no new job can be seen on the horizon.
People I love…
Given a diagnosis and a timeline that speaks utter hopelessness.
People I love…
Crippled from pain, without understanding why.
~
All around me, people I love are hurting.
Who am I to question the hand of God?
But it is I, even I, who sits here with tears streaming down her face, crying out to Him.
For answers
For healing
For provision
For peace
For Him to be Who He is at a time when fear grips ours hearts & threatens all that we know.
He is our ROCK!
When my heart is truly overwhelmed, with all that lies around and within me…
He is here.
Steady as can be; my Savior, my Comforter, my Peace, my Strength & my Rock. {Psalm 46:1}
At a time when the world screams “Where is God that He should allow this to happen?”
My heart is assured, that He is still God. He is Still good for his Word and His promises remain true.{Psalm 136:1}
Lifting my hands upward to Jesus and asking Him to envelope our questioning and hurting hearts today.
Thanking Him in advance for using this season to refine and prepare us for all He has in store! {1Peter 1:7}
ZOLD Grit and Grace, ZOLD He's Still a Good God

I’ve been mulling over this post for several days now. My heart wants to go there, but my head does not. It’s not a pretty place, it’s an awkward & painful place, yet at the same time it’s a beautiful place-if I choose to look at it that way. I still remember the day, as…
