"Why in the world does God think I can handle this right now?"
This thought pops into my head countless times a week. There's constantly something going wrong and so much needs to be done yet there's never enough time.
I just don't get it, he created me, he should know by now that I can't handle any of these situations.
But thats the thing, he never expected us to. (atleast not alone) Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Our strength comes from God, we need to rely on him to get through these obstacles. We live in a broken world, things will always go wrong but the reason why we get overwhelmed and worn out isn't because we're given more than we can handle, its the fact that we keep trying to do something we were never asked to do on our own.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
Trust and rely on God with every situation you're going through, he will protect you and bring you peace.
