Who Can I Run To When I'm Overwhelmed?

From YouTube

Description

Feeling overwhelmed by the news, the job or everything at once? Most of us grab our phones first. When everything you lean on comes up empty, run to God first and tell him all of it: your sin, and your anxiety and loneliness too. Then stay with him and wait, because God often gives a God answer instead of the Google answer we want. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on 1 Samuel 19:18 and shows how David, with King Saul trying to kill him, ran to the prophet Samuel, told him everything and stayed. It was preached in fall 2020 as part of the Dreaming in Dark Places series. Questions this sermon answers How do you stop feeling overwhelmed? Run to God before you run to your phone, the news or a politician, and bring him the whole situation. How do you stop feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Be fully honest with God about your anxiety, loneliness and pain, because he wants to carry those too and not only your sin. Why am I feeling overwhelmed all the time? Often we keep running to things that cannot carry the weight, like screens, cable news and politicians. How do you stop feeling overwhelmed by politics? Stop doom scrolling and stop waiting for a politician or a TV host to give you peace, and take that worry to God instead.
