In Over My Head
I love to travel the coastline of Acadia National Park. However, if I enter the water, I get in over my head.
Sometimes I feel like I am in over my head with life.
I have more on my to-do list than I have time to do. I drown in work.
Also, when I try new tasks, I feel in over my head because I:
- Don’t understand how to do them.
- Have to spend hours or days to learn them.
- Think I will never learn.
I feel like I am spinning my wheels. I want to give up.
When in over my head, I often tell myself:
- I can’t do this.
- I don’t know what I am doing.
When that happens, I need to get away from it all.
I need a break. My thinking must change to:
- I can’t do everything, but I can do some things.
- I can’t learn everything, but I can learn more than I know now.
When I focus on my problems, I feel in over my head. When I let go and let God take control, I find peace.
“God, save me! I’m in over my head” (Psalm 69:1 MSG).
