Feeling overwhelmed lately? Feels like it’s just you in situations where the wall seems to be closing in on you. That’s very normal for many of us, you aren’t alone. The good thing is you are here! Take a deep breath and read and start feeling the love and breakthrough.
Feeling overwhelmed can be caused for a number of reasons and what stands out about being overwhelmed is how it tends to grow if not addressed. It’s like when it rains “being overwhelmed” it pours with a lot more to have to deal with. Consider leaving a chore to be done later, you end up doing it in addition to more as life happens. There are situations that are occurring moment to moment that obviously add to our sense of being overwhelmed and letting them build up can lead us to more undesired experiences.
Meditative Thoughts
Many different reasons may lead to us feeling overwhelmed, it could be work, family, or health-related. Imagine how it feels when you are late to an event and stuck in traffic, it can be overbearing and lead to a string of overwhelming feelings for a while. Since the reasons can vary, the solutions can and do as well, we’d say. Feeling better and less overwhelmed can be a result of simply listing your tasks, hearing a test result or meditating. This shows how a solution for a certain situation may not help your particular situation. The solution to being overwhelmed because you were stuck in traffic would be different than the solution to losing your job. Looking for quicker alternative ways to your destination or calling ahead to mention your being late may provide relief in the first instance while updating your resume or networking can help in the second. However, what leads us to make the right decisions in those situations? You could find an alternative route in the first instance that lets you make it on time or actually much later. You could network with some professionals and get a better job or be led into further frustration in the second situation. What this shows is the importance of correct guidance when we are overwhelmed. In any situation, the correct guidance is what matters. It’s like having a navigation system, you see all the routes and go the way you choose.
Asking for the light and spirit of the Divine Source to relieve, guide and help is a sure way to try if you’ve exhausted your options. With this option, you’ll eventually realize how asking for guidance in any situation before trying different options is the way to go. It’s like entering the address into your navigation system before leaving home, as opposed to running into traffic and seeking other routes at that point. So the main takeaway is when it comes to being overwhelmed, prevention is better than cure. You can prevent it by tuning into the guidance system of the Divine Source as you wake up in the morning so you are being guided to handle situations that may lead to being overwhelmed throughout the day. Constantly asking for guidance and being open to the avenues the universe will provide help through will bring a sense of relief as you start to see things work in your favor.

Prayer
Thank you to the most Divine Source for looking out for me in all situations. I ask for guidance and help to get through this sense of feeling overwhelmed. I lean on the light of God to guide me and take over my situation. My being and existence are beyond my comprehension. I am therefore hopeful that your light of love that sustains my existence will take control over my situation and guide me in which direction to go. I pass myself on to the light of God. I ask for divine guidance and assistance and the spirit of peace. With each breath, I pass (name the situations) to your light. I feel a sense of relief knowing everything is in your hands, my being, my problems, and my solutions can be taken care of beyond my expectations. I rest on the light of God, I bask in the Divine Spirit and I am grateful for the outcome. I ask for the peace that passes all understanding to be my source of relief, joy and strength.
