How Do I Pray When I’m Overwhelmed?

 It is so difficult to trust God with the unknown. Or the diagnosis. Or what we really think is the best outcome in any situation. 

“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow…Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26: 38,40

If you feel overwhelmed, sad, afraid or all of the above, what can you do? Echo the prayer of Jesus as He faced the cross. Ask God for whatever is in your heart. Ask Him for relief. Then trust your Father who sees and knows it all. The pain. The purpose.  And His plan.  – Sandi
