WHY ME?

"CAST YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD . . . AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN YOU . . ." ~Psalm 55:22~

IS IT IMAGINED or is it indeed real that almost everywhere we go and everyone we see, all are dealing with some sort of stress?

If it's not one thing, it's another!

What did we do--or not do--to become so surrounded by adversity? Why is this senseless stress and all this mess making our lives miserable?

Why are we forever troubled and stressed over issues with the wrong people around us? AND why are we even moreso affected by the "supposedly" right people in our lives? How can we expect to overcome so much stress?

Weary and disgusted, we stagger from day to day, singing the same ole' song, "Why me?"

The "Why Me" syndrome has befriended the best of us. And we cannot seem to understand the "ifs," "ands," or "buts," about any of it. All we know for certain is that life has dumped it's dirt on us and we're constantly trying to dig ourselves from deep-down under.

The suggestion from Psalm 55 sheds some light amid our dark situations and stresses. Sure, casting our burden on the Lord is easier said than done. But, if we sincerely believe in God's grace and mercy, we're compelled to trust His Word and do as It says.

Times may be hard, but as those seasoned-survivors often say, "God is still on the throne. He sits high and looks low, and He never misses a thing." If we intend to be successful stress-survivors . . . God is our answer.


Peace I leave with you . . .
