God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 KJV
When you feel overwhelmed and burdened by your responsibilities take this verse to heart. Don’t try to handle everything by yourself. God is your protection, your solace, your comfort, and your refuge. Let Him flow in. Loosen your grip on the idea that you have to control everything and put the future into the hands of God.
Heavenly Father, I know that You are my refuge, my strength and my very present help. I open my heart and invite You in.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
