Feels like the word overwhelmed is coming up a lot these days. There is so much going on in our homes. I felt like this and needed to take a mental break so I found this amazingly simple but powerful poem. I hope it gives you a moment of peace today.
TRANSCRIPT
To be honest, I didn’t want to get this episode together. I am overwhelmed and I feel like the daily podcast commitment may have been too overzealous. Since the internet is kind of a black hole, I’m not quite sure if what I’m saying is useful to anyone and I feel stretched thin. My family is severely suffering from cabin fever and I’m finding myself with a short temper and at a loss of order because of everything going on.
I could give a quick tip on the importance of meditation and quiet time but I know you’ve heard it and I also know its hard to implement so instead, today, I want to give you a quiet moment by sharing this peaceful poem by Lilly Darmetko, it’s called, Just Breathe.
When you feel hopeless and overwhelmed
Just Breathe
When times are tough and you can’t get up
Just Breathe
When you are filled with doubts or fears
Just Breathe
Remember that God is near
He can bring you back from your abyss
When you are overwhelmed with joy
Just Breathe
When things are going your way
Just Breathe
When you are filled with relief
Just Breathe
Remember that God is in control
He’s got you no matter what
All you need to do is
Just Breathe
