Struggling with Overwhelm and Anxiety

Life has been such a whirlwind lately. Honestly, I feel like I’m juggling a million things at once. I’ve got work deadlines looming, my eldest just entered high school with all the changes that brings, and my youngest is struggling with some bullying issues at school. All of this piled together has left me feeling incredibly overwhelmed and anxious. It doesn’t help that I’ve been having trouble sleeping, which is making everything feel a bit worse. I know I’m supposed to cast my cares, but it’s so hard when the weight of everything seems so heavy. I’ve got a meeting next week to discuss a potential promotion at work, but I’m finding it hard to focus on the future when I can barely keep my head above water right now. It feels like I’m on the verge of a breaking point, and I’m worried that I’m not being the dad my kids need or the worker my employer deserves. If you could cover me in prayer as I navigate all this, I’d really appreciate it. I need clarity and peace and the strength to handle all these responsibilities without feeling completely crushed. Your support means a lot. Thank you.
