Do you ever get overwhelmed with your duties you need to do each day. It may seem as if
no one cares, and everyday it's the same thing over and over. Do you sometime cry out "Lord, I can't do everything".
Yes, I do get like that at times, but when I stop and remember that I am to "do all things as unto the Lord" ! Colossians 3:23, I am calmed and remember that my goal should be to please my Lord and do it as unto Him,and not others.
My Bible study this morning, was about this very thing that I seem to face each day. When you are involved in outside activities, family and household duties and struggle to find some time for yourself, it can and sometimes is overwhelming.
It's easy to get down on yourself and have what I call a "pity party". You feel sorry for yourself and begin to believe that you can't accomplish any thing or do it right.
When you struggle to do all things in your on strength, yes we do get tired and get down on ourselves.
Our Lord doesn't expect us to do "everything", but He does "equip" us to do what He wants us to do and that isn't everything.
Find some time today to sit quietly, pray and draw near to God.
Have a Blessed day!

Yes ma'am to everything you said. A beautiful post, have a lovely day, friend.
Beautiful. I get like that a lot and have to stop and think of my favorite verse. "Be still and know that I am God." I think we all forget who is in control at times. I love your blog.

Beautiful post, Sylvia! I have to remind myself often to rest and let God refresh me. I love the graphic of the 23rd Psalm. So true! Have a blessed day.
Just like I told Ms. Melanie, what I'm reading is speaking to me more and more about this Armor of God studying I'm doing with the ladies at our church. I get so down on myself and realize it's satan...that's exactly where he wants me to be. OH, how God's opening my eyes and heart, and again....it ain't too pretty. :( This is such a beautiful post with great illustrations....thanks so much for joining in. So glad we're blogging friends...and Facebook!!! HOPE you have a great weekend.
Thanks. Lately I have just been overwhelmed.
Sylvia, We are harder on ourselves than we need to be. We need to remember to just keep chipping away at chores or jobs...it''ll all get done in due time. Some people need to remember it's okay to tell people , "no, I can do that for you right now, I am busy." I ask God to help me lots. :):)Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
Oh my, your thoughts are so similar to mine today. I am just getting ready to write, and I was amazed at some of the thoughts your shared that coincide with what God has laid on my heart today. Praying you are having a wonderfully blessed and peaceful day.
Precious friend, what an inspiring and encouraging post! My heart and soul have been refreshed, dear Sylvia.
Love to you!
Oh- I hear ya, Sylvia. No matter what is going on there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get it all done. But--you are so right with everything you touched on here. Blessings. Hope YOU found a peaceful spot today. xo Diana

Thank you for this beautiful post, Sylvia.
You just don't know how much of a blessing this was to me today!!!
What beautiful words you've shared in this post, Sylvia! God bless you and Happy Easter week to you.
Thanks. I am printinting this out for myself to read again and again. It's beautiful.
Oh, that is so beautiful Sylvia!! I love this. Thank you for sharing this again today...I needed this reminder as well. This was right on time! Blessings to you today!!!!
Love this post, was it written just for me? I sure have had my share of pity parties, but God has been so faithful to lift me up and sit me on solid ground. He truly is our wonderful Savior!
I love this! I really needed this today. Sometimes the simple things overwhelm me. Like everybody expecting you to do things for them but nobody volunteering to do things for you.
Very fitting, a year later because I seem to be going through this again. Thank you for reposting.
