Overwhelmed – In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly pulled in various directions in our everyday lives. Kids, work, family, house repairs, and the like tug at us constantly for attention. Making time for yourself and your spiritual growth seems impossible, but God never intended for us to be in this situation.

He tells us in Matthew 11:28-30 that we are to give Him our burden when we are weary and heavy laden, for His yoke is easy and the burden light. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and consumed by busyness, pray this prayer and let the Lord take on your burdens.

Lord, you are the one and only true living God who sees me and knows my burdens. I’m overwhelmed with life right now, and I need you to take my burdens onto your shoulders and ease my weariness. According to Matthew 11:28-30, it says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Lord, please forgive me for causing myself to be overwhelmed and drawn away from you. Thank you, Lord, for your grace in the forgiveness of my sins, and for cleansing me from all unrighteousness, according to 1 John 1:9.

Now, in the name of Jesus, I command the spirit of Overwhelmed and all other spirits working together to cause me to be Overwhelmed, have now lost their legal rights due to my repentance of sin. So, I command you, in the name of Jesus, to get up, get out, and go to the pit now. I loose the warrior angels according to Matthew 16:19 to escort these spirits to the pit now.

Now that your burden has been lifted, please view our teaching on Preparing Your Spiritual Environment (PYSE), which will guide you in taking authority over the enemy and living victoriously.
