We should ask, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying, Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath. For God is the King over all the earth. Psalm 2:1-2, 4-5, 9:7 WEB
Regarding your feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion, know that God wants us to rest in Him and to cast our burdens on Him. He will give us the strength to overcome and endure. It is important to stay faithful, strong, and courageous and to not worry about the future. God is in control and will lead us to the path he desires for us.
Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. Psalm 27:14 WEB
Consider the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; for she has no chief, overseer, or ruler, yet she prepares her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep, so shall your poverty come as a stalker, and your need as an armed man. Proverbs 6:6-11 WEB
