On days like today, I wish I was somewhere on a beach. Days where I feel the stresses of work and life push me to feel completely overwhelmed. There’s not enough time and I have so much to do are thoughts I have racing through my mind even when I try to rest.

Sometimes we all need a little beach moment to revitalize us.
As women, it’s hard for us to stop thinking of a million things at once. But if we aren’t careful we can start feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Women aren’t the only ones who need rest, men do too at times.

Before I start feeling overwhelmed, I stop what I’m doing and pull up a devotional on YouVersion or a random Bible verse. Then I say a little prayer for God to help me unwind and calm down. It really helps to take tension off of whatever I need to do that day or moment.

We need to remember that God is always right there waiting to give us the strength we need to get through whatever we are facing. It is really true that if you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you.

Remember to not get carried away taking care of others and forget to take care of yourself. Take some time for yourself. Eat healthily, go for a walk, read a book, or take a bubble bath with candles going. Whatever your me time looks like, just do it!

A Prayer For You 

Lord remind us to take moments to refresh ourselves before the stresses of life overwhelm us. Thank you for being a good Father who gives us what we need just when we need it. In Jesus’ name, amen!
