Christmas is For the Overwhelmed

Overwhelm happens when life feels bigger than we can handle.

Gabriel’s announcement about Jesus included:

» Jesus is the ultimate leader into the true Promised Land.

» Jesus is the Son of the Most High God.

» Jesus is the fulfillment of David’s eternal throne.

» Jesus is the one who reigns over God’s people.

When something chaotic happens, we need a plan in place — a "Mind Insurance Policy."

How should I respond when I’m feeling overwhelmed?

» Acknowledge and name what’s happening.

» Switch from 'you' to 'I.'

» Move forward with what I know.

A key truth to remember and say when I’m feeling overwhelmed this Christmas season: I’m not alone.
