God Grant me the
Serenity to accept the
Things I Cannot change
Courage to change
The things I Can - And
The Wisdom to know
The Difference.
Feeling overwhelmed is a trap, a tricky one at that. When we're overwhelmed, we see all that needs to be done and say. That's too much. I can't do it. So instead, I shall do nothing. Feeling overwhelmed occurs when we say, I am already too busy so I can't do that and now all is pressing in on me and I can't do anything. And the acts that are ours to do keep piling up and pulling on us. And we keep resisting. And stress and pressure build up.
Feeling overwhelmed leads to feeling stuck, and both are an illusion. How simple those things that overwhelm us actually become when we release the feeling and return to the rhythm of our lives. When we say, Yes, I need to make that phone call, do that task. How simple the task becomes, how simple life becomes.
What's bothering you that needs to be done? What's pulling on you? what's causing you to feel overwhelmed and maybe stuck, too?
Make a list. Put your list aside, and begin taking one simple action. Then watch as life unfolds. One act at a time, one thing at a time, all that needs to be done will get done. The stress will disappear, and you'll feel back on track.
We are all Children of God.
Children who have lost our way
and are seeking to find it again.
On bended knees we come to God, seeking His mercy and love.

"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace - that where there is hatred, I may bring love - that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - that where there is discord, I may bring harmony - that where there is error, I may bring truth - that where there is doubt, I may bring faith - that where
there is despair, I may bring hope - that where there are shadows, I may bring light - that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted - to understand, than to be understood - to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving
that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
Amen."
