It’s no secret that life can become overwhelming. God never promised that this life would be easy, just that He would see us through the tough times.

An Overwhelming Life Demands an Overwhelming God [One Minute Feature]

So, how are we to handle the times in the valley? What do we do in those moments when our sorrow is so great, and God feels so distant?

Find Solace in God’s Arms When Life Becomes Overwhelming

In Psalm 119: 28, the psalmist says, “My soul is weary with sorrow.” It would be easy for him to shake his fist at God and demand reprieve, but instead, the psalmist goes on to say, “strengthen me according to your word.” After praising God and affirming his commitment to Him, the psalmist concludes with, “My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.” When life becomes too much to bear, turn to Psalm 119. There’s comfort in knowing that we’re not alone in our struggles and suffering.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
