I Have Questions - AnxietyНамуна

Let’s face it: High school is full of people who are overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overstressed. 

We’re overwhelmed because we’re thinking too much—constantly making decisions or striving to meet expectations. 

We’re overcommitted because we’re doing too much—school, sports, clubs, and church.

And we’re overstressed because of, well, everything else—parents, social media, siblings, our after-school job, and more!

And all of that combined leads you to experience a type of fatigue that goes beyond just physical. Mentally and internally we just feel . . . exhausted. 

Thankfully, in the midst of the chaos of life, Jesus offers us an invitation. Tired from the craziness of life? Burdened by fear, the pressure to measure up, or the insecurity that says you never will? Jesus says, “Come to me to find rest.” Jesus wants to restore what’s been depleted in your mind, heart, and soul. 

The truth is, your soul is at its best when you come to Jesus for rest. So this week, make it a point to spend a few minutes with Jesus on a daily basis—not to add yet another thing to your already-filled day, but to find some rest. Tell Him what’s on your mind, in what areas you’re struggling, and where you need some help. And then just chill for a few minutes knowing He’s with you, loves you, and cares about it all.
