Why is it important for Christians to feel overwhelmed?

Experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed can serve as a critical turning point in a believer's life. Such circumstances often prompt a deeper reliance on God, leading to a more profound relationship with Him. David's prayer in Psalm 61 illustrates how overwhelming feelings can drive one to recognize their need for spiritual refuge. It is in these moments of lowliness that believers often encounter God's mercy and grace, leading them to the 'rock that is higher'—the assurance and salvation found in Jesus Christ.
