Coping

How can I cope when life’s demands seem overwhelming?

God’s Response

As I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless. Ecclesiastes 2:11

Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. . . . But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it —and I won’t take it away from her.” Luke 10:40-42

The key to coping is to set your priorities early. Don’t let everyone else decide what your day should look like —that should be between you and God. If you make time with him your first priority of the day, you will find that he will give you perspective on your activities for the rest of the day. Ask God to show you what is worth being concerned about.

God’s Promise

As for God, his way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 2 Samuel 22:31
