I Love Psalm 142, and this morning I read it in a version (NASB 1995) that used the one word I hear most from students: overwhelmed. We read this in verse 3.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
You knew my path.

I love the simplicity of trusting in God’s knowledge of our journey. When we are Overwhelmed, we can rest in God’s care for us. We can ask Him for help since He knows our path. The psalm reminded me of the often-quoted sentence from Corrie Ten Boom: “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Or consider the famous line: “Don’t fear the future; God is already there.”

God knows what we don’t know. We can trust Him when we feel overwhelmed.
