The Cure for the Overwhelmed

Jesus suggested exactly that. “Come away… and get some rest.” Jesus invited His disciples and us alike: ‘Join Me in a place devoid of distraction. Let My presence minister to your overstimulation and restore your soul again.’ The cure for our overwhelmed soul is not the endless scroll of instagram or Facebook. We won’t be brought back to life by binging Netflix or even disappearing into a favorite fiction book for a few hours. We can’t eat or sleep away our feelings. Our soul is rebuilt in the presence of Jesus alone.
