Turn to God

Sometimes the problems of life get to big for us. They seem insurmountable and we can't find a way out of them. I have been feeling this way lately. I don't know where to turn for help and the stress of everything that is going on in my life has overtaken me. I haven't been sleeping very well because I am continually thinking about what I need to get done. There isn't enough time in the day for me to finish everything I need to finish. I have gotten to the point of making myself sick from the stress that is weighing me down. I have been feeling far from God during all this because I had forgotten that He is in control of my life and that He is the one I need to turn to for help. I forgot my favorite verse: 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." What an incredible promise! He is there for me! He cares for me! I am not alone in what I am doing! He desires for us to come to Him and lay all our cares at His feet! Giving it all to Him, all our trouble, all our sadness, all our stress, all our problems. Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." He is ever present, helping us in our trouble. We need to remember this! I need to remember this! God is always right beside you and me! The reason He seems far away is because we have been trying to go out in our own strength! We can never do anything in our own strength! God is our source of strength! We need to be connected with Him to receive His strength! God is in control of everything and nothing will ever change that! I have been looking at verses that show us that God is in control! What a comfort God's word is! God loves us and we need to trust Him to take care of us! We need to trust that He is in control of our life and that He will always be with us! When you feel lost in your problems, read through the scriptures! Find peace in God's word! Remember that God is in control! I love the song called "God is in control", the chorus goes: God is in control / We believe that His children will not be forsaken / God is in control / We will choose to remember and never be shaken / There is no power above or beside Him, we know / God is in control, oh God is in control. Whenever you are stressed out, or worried, or scared, or are facing problems in your life, remember to turn to God because He cares for you, He is your strength and refuge, He is your help, and He is in control of everything! What a comfort to know that He is watching over us!
