Feeling Overwhelmed and Stressed Out? – I’ve Got an Answer
A very wise person told me that there is no such thing as being overwhelmed – it’s a lack of setting priorities. Think about that for a little while. If you’re like me, I always have a to do list a mile long. I never accomplish what I set out to do, because I have too much to do! If I cut that list by a fourth or fifth, I then start to actually get something done.
Most of us have expectations bigger than what we are actually able to do.
Feeling Overwhelmed? Try a Prayer Meditation Combination
I’ve been doing a lot of work and planning with creating several new websites. That task is taking a lot of time and energy and I was feeling a little overwhelmed this morning. This message, taken from I Corinthians chapter fourteen verse thirty-three, always comes to mind when I’m feeling overwhelmed or confused:
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.”
Prayer has always been a foundation within the Christian faith. In fact, every religious service contains prayer and usually the famous prayer – The Lord’s Prayer, as a part of the worship service. While it’s helpful to pray to God about being overwhelmed and asking for help, why not try listening first? Christian meditation is listening to God. Let God nurture you for a little while by simply sitting in his/her presence.

Need to Relax? Learn to Meditate – Can’t Find the Time? Here’s an Idea
I’ve found the perfect solution to combat all of the gloom and doom out there. Turn off the news and meditate! If there was ever a time to learn to meditate, it’s now. Our senses are assaulted in our new technological age.
Here’s a perfect example. I just took a trip to Dallas. Sitting in the airport, I was amazed at the amount of pure noise going on around me. One of the twenty-four hour news channels was blaring (so much for turning off the news), the windows were vibrating from the sound of the jet engines, people all around me were talking on cell phones and the loud speaker was announcing various boarding instructions. All this was happening as I was trying to concentrate writing an article on my laptop. Can you say sensory overload? Fortunately for me, I have been practicing meditation now for quite some time.
