How to Focus on God and Find Peace in Overwhelming Times

by | Nov 12, 2026

Psalm 1:1-2, Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.

It is easy to become consumed with the News or your struggles, and then anxiety sets in, and you are really overwhelmed. When we focus on God and His Word, we find answers, truth, and peace for all that we may face in this life. God loves you, and He wants you to know that He sees, He knows, and He has a plan, and you can trust His plan. Believe me, I know how difficult it is when you are overwhelmed with hurt or anger, and it is really difficult to not spend your day focusing on who or what, but ask God to give you what you need to move past it today.  Spend time alone with Him. Turn on some praise music, read your Bible, and pray.  Consume yourself with Who He is and give those hurts, frustrations, people, and anger over to Him. Allow Him to work in your heart and mind.  

Do what you can and what God puts in front of you to do today, and leave the rest to Him. Don’t allow satan to push you into frustration, depression, and anxiety over things that you need to give to God and leave them there. Don’t take things on that were never meant for you to carry!  Pour your heart out to God and your mind into His Word.  Trust God, knowing that truly His best is yet to come!

Have a Blessed day, Janet Scott
