Life is hard. Sometimes it seems like when you get hit with one thing three more things are right behind it. It's hard not to worry and to not be stressed when your life is in chaos. I struggle with this. But I also remember that the Bible tells us not to worry 365 times. I have to remember that while the world offers no rest and no peace, God does. He promises it. True peace is in resting in Him. There are no promises that life will be easy. However, He promises to walk along side of us and carry us when we are too weary to walk. He promises rest. Take a breath and take your eyes off the world. Put them on Him. You'll get your strength from Him and be able to start again. Don't give up. Give it all to Jesus.
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16:33
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. - Psalm 29:11
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30
