Feeling overwhelmed is a common experience when striving to apply Biblical counsel, as each new insight can highlight areas for improvement in our lives. However, James 1:5 encourages us to ask God for wisdom, assuring us that He will generously provide guidance, helping us to focus on one area at a time without feeling bogged down.
Why might you feel overwhelmed at times? Give an example.When you read the Bible and look for ways to apply its guidance, you may at times feel overwhelmed. Think of this scenario: Today your Bible reading includes counsel against showing favoritism. (Jas. 2:1-8) You see that you could improve on how you treat others, so you decide to make some changes. Excellent! Then tomorrow you read a passage that highlights the importance of controlling your speech. (Jas. 3:1-12) You realize that on occasion your speech has been somewhat negative. So you determine that you will be more positive and upbuilding. Your Bible reading the next day includes a warning against becoming a friend of the world. (Jas. 4:4-12) You notice that you need to be more selective in your choice of entertainment. By the fourth day, you might feel rather overwhelmed by all the things you need to work on.
