I am overwhelmed
When I remember God, then I am disturbed (moan, murmur, growl, cry aloud); When I sigh (complain), then my spirit grows faint (feeble, weak, overwhelmed). Psalm 77:3 (NASB)
My heart desolate
… my spirit grows faint (feeble, weak, overwhelmed) within me; my heart within me is dismayed (desolate, appalled, stunned, devastated). Psalm 143:4
Yet!
When my spirit grows faint (feeble, weak, overwhelmed) within me, it is you who know (make known, declare, cause me to know, reveal to me) my way. Psalm 142:3a
You show me the Way
From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint (feeble, weak, overwhelmed); lead me (guide me, bring me) to the rock that is (raised up, lifted up, exalted) higher than I. Psalm 61:2
You lead me to the Rock that is higher
You guide me to the Rock that is lifted up
You bring me to the Rock who is exalted
And when I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw everyone to myself. John 12:32
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name … Philippians 2:8-9
I was overwhelmed and you answered me
Jesus answered, “I am the way …” John 14:6
“Follow me.”
