Being a single mother or single parent can at times become overwhelming. When this feeling comes over me, I always turn to prayer, the Word of God, and I reach out to family or a close friend. When I pray I ask God to be with me, to help me through, and to lead me because after all, He knows best.
One of my go to scriptures is Psalm 61:2 “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is high than I.” This scripture helps me in so many ways – it’s actually one of my favorite scriptures. This scripture encourages us to cry out to God when we become overwhelmed. The latter part of this scripture “when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I” tells us that when things tends to become overwhelming, cry out to the One who is higher than us, the One who is our solid guide, the One whom we can cast all of our worries and cares to, cry out to Him to help make the load that you are carrying easy.
As you continue on with your day, lean on God when things become overwhelming for you. Lean on Him when you feel you can’t turn to anyone else. Lean on Him and He will see you through. He is our rock, the solid one.
