Scripture Printables for When You Are Overwhelmed

Scripture printables remind you of God’s word when you feel overwhelmed. And they can be the best way to encourage a friend who is struggling.

Free Scripture Printables. Encouragement to pray and remind yourself of the promises of Scripture when you are feeling overwhelmed.

 

Do you ever feel helpless when a friend is struggling?  You’ve hugged, visited, shared a meal, and encouraged.  But you can’t be there every minute.

The ladies class I’m a part of on Wednesday nights has been trying to actively encourage a friend who is in the hospital.  One of the things we decided to do was to flood her room with the truths of God’s word.  I created these Scripture printables.  We each wrote an encouraging note around the edges, to remind her of our love, and hung them all around her room.

Overwhelmed & Looking for the Light

When you feel overwhelmed, it’s hard to see the light (or sometimes even believe that the light is there).  During these times, the most helpful and important thing we can do is to remind ourselves of the truth.  The truth of God’s word is the only thing to combat the lies that we are believing.

And when you’re on the outside…when it’s someone you love who is struggling to see the light…what can you do?  You remind them of the truth, that’s what.

Praying Scripture

Have you ever used Scripture verses in your prayers?  Beth Moore had a great book out a number of years ago called, Praying God’s Word.  It’s arranged topically, and provides verses that you can speak, pray, into your situation.

What more powerful words could we pray?

Surround Yourself With God’s Truths

The Bible tells us to take each thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.  I don’t know about you, but that is where the battle begins for me.  Sometimes it’s as basic as noticing a thought, and audibly telling yourself “No!”, and then replacing it with truth.  Having the word of God where you see it regularly is a great way to plant those ‘thought seeds’.

      I’m thrilled that you’ve found something that will be a blessing. Just prayed that your friend would see God’s face clearly, hear his voice and know his peace. Blessings on you, as well. Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Hi Susan! I happened upon your site while looking at your baked rice recipe. I loved your writing style and decided to check out your site. I saw this and had to read it because of what has been going on in my life the last few years. It’s not been easy. In a nutshell, the last 2 years have been like this: my mom passed away, my seven year relationship that I thought was leading to marriage ended, I almost died from a severe case of cellulitis in my legs with the infection damaging my heart and kidneys, I had a fall that tore my rotator cuff in 2 places, I had weight loss surgery to help my heart and cellulitis, I was off on medical leave from work for 18 months and upon returning, I was bullied and harassed and threatened which resulted in management giving me the choice to retire early or be fired, because of that I am now facing bankruptcy and just learned that I am going to be evicted from my condo and will probably be homeless. I have a very strong faith in Our Lord, but I am ashamed to say in my moments of being overwhelmed and depressed, I have contemplated suicide. But because of my faith and trust in Jesus I know I cannot and will not do that. I try to keep my heart and mind strong, but it is a struggle. Everyday brings it’s challenges. What all this is leading to is I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your article and for your scripture printable. This is exactly what I need in my life right now. Because of my recurring problems with my legs, I often spend much of my time in bed. I printed out your printables and a friend posted them around my room for me so I could see them and be reminded of His love and guidance for us. This was an incredibly thoughtful project and it means a great deal to me that you shared it for all to see. I am going to subscribe so I can follow you in the future. I look forward to reading more from you. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. My Our Lord and Saviour continue to send you and your family abundant blessings and keep you in His Love.

      Patricia, Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot that you took the time to share your story. I’m so sorry to hear of the struggles that you’re facing and prayed just now for you that God would provide just what you need and would work all things out for good in your situation. When things in our life seem to just be falling apart all around us, it can be so hard to trust that God could possibly bring something good from it. I admire the faith that you display and pray that you would be richly blessed. You are an encouragement to me this evening!
