When you are feeling Overwhelmed
Numbers 11:10-17

Overwhelming as the task might seem, it grows even more challenging when those you are serving don't seem to appreciate your efforts. In return for sacrifice, you get selfishness; your efforts at caretaking are met with complaining. At times like these, you may be tempted to cry out to the Lors as Moses did, "Why have you brought this trouble on me? This burden is too heavy for me.".

The Israelites were wallowing in the darkness of bitterness, casting blame upon God and His chosen leader. Instead of choosing to see God's hand in the moment, they blamed Moses and God for everything that disappointed them. As a result, their suffering was prolonged.

God promised Moses to send help, just like HE promises to help each one of us in our times of overwhelming situations. But how you may ask: through your prayers and submission to His will. Never hesitate to take your needs to Him in prayer He has promised to take care of them.

It is so cool that God is paying attention and able to help when asked. He hears and fixes what needs fixing.

There is a bright side to everything, Focusing on the positive really helps make a situation less cumbersome.

At times we get very discouraged. That is one of Satan's best wespons in his war chest. Satan knows when and how to use those arrows and we need to remember where and who to turn to. We are in the Lord's service, and when we think our labors are not being appreciated, it is then we need to remember whose hands we are and continue in His ways. Satan will try to ding us every chance we give him!
