Lead Me to the Rock

This week, I experienced an overwhelming feeling which pushed me to the end of my rope. Yet the Lord is faithful and He allowed me to know Him in a deeper and new perspective. It was all a combination of expectations I felt like I need to achieve with excellence. Expectations at work, at home and even in my ministry. I felt like I didn't have enough time to navigate my time and effort to accomplish everything. I found myself drained and stressed and was close to losing my  joy in doing the things I used to love with all my heart. I even had a hard time finishing my line up of songs that I felt the pressure on my chest as I tried to look for the songs. I was overwhelmed and my heart was fainting. I cried to God and met Him in that familiar place where I can be in His presence. He gave me His word in Proverbs 26:1 which says :When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the ROCK that is higher than I" Everything changed at that very moment. I prayed that He will carry me to His perspective..to His heights and view the things that overwhelm me in His own perspective, coated with His wisdom. Alas! He never failed to amaze me. I felt released and see my present circumstance in a very different perspective.  He also gave me His songs of praise. Indeed He is my Rock whom I can run to and take refuge. When the storm comes, I can hide in Him. He is my stronghold, He lifted me up and set my feet on the rock. Most of all, He carried me on to the rock who is Jesus. He is higher than my frustrations, my disappointments, my problems, and any thing that hinders me in seeing His promises.

Dear God,

Thank you for You have been our shield, the rock of our salvation, our hiding place, our stronghold and the rock of ages. Because of who you are I give You glory and life my voice and say " I worship you because of who You are!"
