When I am truly overwhelmed I find that time with God is the only thing that calms me down.
I had just such an experience last night. I have been busy and busy for days. And last night was no exception. I had been planning to do one errand and then head home. Instead things went longer and were more stressful than I had planned for them to be.
I got home at 7:45 p.m. I go to bed at 8:00 most work nights. I had gotten home late on Sunday night as well...and slept poorly. So, by 8:00 last night I had a pounding headache, an upset stomach, and ache-y body, and just generally crabby and stressed out.
After I took my medicine, turned on the fan and put on my sleep apnea machine, I just laid on my bed. For minutes and minutes.
And then I started talking to God. Just inside my head. Praying for a good night's sleep. Praying for the stressful things of the evening. Praying for rest. Reminding myself of His goodness. Of the many blessings in my life. My home. My cats. Cozy climbed up and snuggled on my chest for a while. She is so soft. I felt quite loved. And slept wonderfully well.
