Life has a way of being crazy sometimes doesn't it? Even with my detailed planning and super organized self, sometimes life throws me a curve ball I never saw coming.
You may be able to relate. There is quite a bit of uncertainty in our world today, but you know what?
That's okay!
Let’s dive into how we can navigate these feelings and find a sense of peace and purpose, even when life feels like it’s a little crazy and out of control.
Remember, you’re not alone.
Trust me when I tell you, it’s not just you. Many times we think we’re the only ones that can’t keep it together but more often than not, we are actually the majority and not the minority.
The first step in regaining your peace is remembering that you are not alone. This is not an isolated “you’” problem. There isn’t anything wrong with you and it's completely normal to go through times of overwhelm from time to time.
Who is really in control?
The other very important truth we must remember is that ultimate control isn't ours; it's God's. This doesn’t mean we sit back and do nothing, but rather, we trust that He’s got this. Acknowledging that God is in control helps ease our anxiety. It's a comforting thought, isn't it? We don’t need to have it all figured out because He does.
Establishing a Routine
Creating a routine is one of the best ways to bring some stability back into our lives. Even simple things like waking up at the same time every day or planning your meals can create a sense of normalcy. This isn’t about strict schedules or perfection; it's about giving yourself a framework to operate within, which can be incredibly grounding.
Focusing on What You Can Control
While we can't control everything, there are things we can manage, like our eating habits. It's easy to let stress take over and find comfort in unhealthy foods. But we can choose to nourish our bodies in a way that honors God and helps us feel our best. Let’s control what we can and trust God with the rest.
Community and Connection
In times like these, community becomes even more critical. Sharing your struggles and victories with others can be incredibly uplifting. Our New Life Promise community is a safe space where you can be vulnerable and find support without judgment. We’re all in this together, and sometimes, just knowing that can be a huge comfort.
Leaning on Scripture
Scripture is a powerful tool for finding comfort and guidance. One verse that resonates with me is John 13:7, where Jesus tells Peter, "You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will." It’s a reminder that we may not see the whole picture, but we can trust that God’s plan is the best plan.
Producing Fruit in Uncertain Times
Even when life feels chaotic, we are called to continue producing fruit. This means finding ways to grow and serve, even in small ways. Whether it's reaching out to someone who needs encouragement or starting a new project, there are countless ways to contribute positively to the world around us.
A Kingdom Perspective
Finally, let’s keep a kingdom perspective. In light of eternity, the struggles we face now are temporary. What truly matters is how we live out our faith, love others, and serve God. Every decision we make should reflect this eternal focus.
Closing Thoughts
If you're feeling overwhelmed and a bit out of control, remember that you're not alone. We're all in this together, and we can find strength in our faith, routines, and community. Let’s pray for each other, encourage each other, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. He is our anchor in every storm.
