Overcoming Overwhelmed | Putting Your Problems Into Perspective | Craig Smith

About this episode

Craig Smith discusses how to overcome feelings of being overwhelmed by shifting one's perspective towards God.

Feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone—and you're not stuck. In this message from our Overcoming Overwhelm series, we explore a powerful truth: it's not the size of your problems that's crushing you—it's the size of your perspective. Through Isaiah 40, we're reminded that nothing compares to God. Not your stress. Not your fear. Not the weight you've been carrying. When life gets loud and heavy, it's easy to focus on what's right in front of you. But what if the answer isn't fixing your problems… but lifting your eyes? This message will help you: Reframe what's overwhelming you Recognize what you've been leaning on instead of God Take a practical step to bring God back into focus You don't need smaller problems. You need a bigger view of God.
