Overwhelmed?

This past week has been a blur. I flew home to NC last Friday to see my uncle. He has been battling cancer for the last 7 months. I knew that this would be the last time I would see him here on this earth, so I wanted to get home as fast as I could. I flew home and was able to spend 2 days with him before he went home to be with the Lord. Then right after he passed away, we were consumed with family, funeral arrangements, visitation, the funeral, and then the following day drove 8 hours back to GA with Daniel and the boys. I was so overwhelmed with stuff that the gravity of all that I saw and experienced is just now beginning to sink in. Seeing him fight for every breath, reading him scripture and praying for him by his bed, helping my mom (his sister), my aunt and my cousins, standing in the 3 1/2 hour line to greet people at the visitation, experiencing the pain of losing him at his funeral coupled with the joy of knowing where he is at this very moment. It is a lot to take in. It is overwhelming. It is consuming. I cant imagine dealing with all of this without the Lord. He is my Rock, my shield, my comfort. He takes my hurts, hears my prayers, walks with me in my grief. One promise of scripture that He gave me this past week is .......

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:21-23

No matter what overwhelms you, He is there. He loves you and wants His best for you. It may not be the death of a loved one that you are dealing with. Maybe it is exams, a family member is sick, deciding what to do after you graduate, a relationship or friendship......whatever it is, He is there. He desires to walk with you and help you in this journey. Wont you let Him? What passage of scripture helps you when you are overwhelmed?
