After my first post last week, I honestly was not sure what my next post was going to be about. I knew I wanted to blog, I just was not sure on what exactly. 

However, when Monday came around, it became clear to me on what exactly this post needed to be about. 

As the semester is now winding down, I had been given a slew of assignments, and I truly thought I was about to reach my breaking point. I had 4 big assignments due in the time span of 3 days. I did not know what I was going to do. 

I was stressed.

I walked into my Psychology class, which was my last class for the day, frantically trying to plan out how I was going to get all of this work done. I was shaking, and my heart was racing.

But then, my Psychology professor opened up the class by saying that due to unforeseen circumstances, our paper's due date was being postponed until Friday.

The best way to describe how I felt at that moment is that I was just overwhelming relieved. 

There is no way to explain this, and I just know it was Jesus reminding me exactly HOW much He is there for me. I hadn't even turned to Him about this problem yet. It was so small; I thought I could handle it all on my own.

He wanted to carry the burden for me-- just like He did on the cross.

However, after processing it all, I now believe that this was Jesus reminding He will handle what we think are small problems the same way He handles what we think are big problems. 

Is that not amazing?

During my quiet time, I was reminded of three verses that always have a way to comfort me when I am stressed. 

The first is John 14:1.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me."

The next is John 16:33.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

And finally, the last verse is Philippians 4:6.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

So, if you are stressed, I cannot promise you such an intervention as the one I experienced, but I can promise you that if you give it to Him that you will feel better. 

Thanks Jesus for that reminder. I truly needed it.
