Day 96 of 365

When Your Heart Is Overwhelmed

“Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

Psalm 61:1-2 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

David says 'when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.' He does not pretend his heart is fine. He admits it is overwhelmed. And then he asks to be led somewhere solid. That is the prayer for days like this.

Try This Today

If your heart is overwhelmed right now, stop scrolling. Put your phone face-down. Close your eyes and say: 'God, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.' Repeat it until you feel your breathing slow.
