Help! I don't know what to do. My days seem to drag out longer and longer, and I am helpless to stop it. Schoolwork is taking hours out of my day as I try my hardest just to hold on to an A in every subject. Besides that, I have lessons, youth choir, Church, classes, Bible study, and that book I'm writing. I just don't have time for all of this! How am I supposed to fit prayer in every morning? I barely have enough time to zip through my Bible reading before jumping in the shower. I feel like I'm drowning! By bed time, I have to work to keep my mind free of Algebra problems. When I turn off the light, I lie there feeling tormented by fear and worry. I just can't take my life anymore! Today, after a mass amount of other homework, I opened my Biology book to find that I had to write down twelve definitions. I cried. There is just no way I can live like this my entire life! I don't know what You can do in this situation, but if You can help, please do!
Love Forever,
Your daughter

My Dearest Princess,
I know that you sometimes feel burdened, tired, worried, and afraid. I have felt all of those things Myself! I understand when you feel like you are drowning in circumstances that you have no control over. It's okay to feel upset and frustrated. Life on earth isn't perfect, and sometimes it gets hard, but even when it does, I am still with you. I will always be there for you, and you can come to Me with everything. I love you! I have watched you for many years. Most of the time, you just want to do things on your own, and you rarely ask for My help. You don't think you need Me, but you really do! I am just waiting for you to realize that, on you own, you just make a mess of things. I am the One who can turn that mess into something beautiful! Please trust Me! When ever you feel like you do now, tell Me. I'll be glad to listen! You may think that you have no time to pray, but you do if you look for it. I will bless your day when you put Me at the center of it! My daughter, please know that I care for you and I will always be able to help you. Put all your cares, worries, and anxieties on me. Nothing is to much for Me to carry! Remember, I was on earth once, so I know what it is like to be human. I know that you need help! Please don't try to carry everything alone, I am patiently waiting to help you.

What a great Post Princess Melody! It really touched my Heart!

Princess Melody,
ReplyDeleteI have felt as you have felt. Recently, in fact. I, too, have been trying to do many things, but actually, my main problem was my schoolwork. I also want to get good grades and while that's a good thing and something to strive for, it doesn't always require the amount of time, work and energy that I (we) put into it. I don't mean that you can blow off studying and still make As, of course, but I have and still do struggle with homework because it takes so much of my time! I felt like I didn't have much of a day to do whatever I wanted! I've been learning that maybe I don't always need to review something as often as I've been doing. It's okay if I only complete the assignment and don't put additional work into it sometimes. If I have an unusual day, event, opportunity, etc., it won't hurt me or my grades to maybe make some of that work up a different day. Again, I don't want to give the impression to anyone that I'm saying that you should skimp on your homework! No, I'm just saying that maybe (and I don't know all the circumstances) you could and should give yourself a break sometimes. I hope I didn't just steal your post and I hope that doesn't sound bossy; I just wanted to be able to share that with you. I don't know if it was at all helpful, but there you have it.

What a wonderful post, Melody! I was going through that a month or two ago. Soccer season was starting up soon so I needed to get in shape, I was starting a lot of new schoolwork, my music load was increasing rapidly, and I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. Not to mention that my faith was kind of dwindling.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten over it, but this post was still SO helpful!
