When life gets overwhelming, and when we feel overwhelming we can feel like things are spiraling. Often the diffrent voices and all the things that can compete for our attention. All the things can drown out the voice of God in our lives. we see this throught scripture, when Jesus called Peter to walk on water he initially focuses Jesus but when he noticed the storm raging around him he began to sink, it was only when he again focused on Jesus that he walked on the water again (Matt14:22-33). The storms and mountains of life are daunting and its easy to get trapped and feel-like you are sinking. One of the enemies favorite tactics is to overwhelm us with the burdens of life. God wants us make him the focus and centre of our minds.
Putting God first allows us to put everything into perspective. When we surrender all things to God, when we trust him to carry the burdens we can’t carry, we experience the profound peace of God. God’s voice is often quiet, so we need to learn to tune out distractions. One of the best ways to do that is to give our mornings to God and to focus on him for at least an hourr. By dedicating time to God we train our minds to focus on the things of the Lord. So when life is overwhelming consider that you may no longer be hearing God’s voice, recenter yourself in him and focus on the things of the Lord.
