346. How to Have a Wonderful Christmas When You Feel Overwhelmed and Anxious

Welcome back to the kitchen table. The week before Christmas always seems to carry so much weight. It’s a season of joy, traditions, and celebration, yet it’s also a season where overwhelm and anxiety can creep in. How do we fight against the lies that whisper we’re falling short? How do we realign our hearts with Jesus when we feel like we’ve lost our way?

The pressure to create the perfect Christmas can creep  in, and anxiety whispers, “Am I even doing this well?” Here’s the truth: The gospel does not demand perfection or performance.

Colossians 3:1-4 reminds us to set our hearts on things above, where Christ is. Christmas isn’t about a perfect checklist or flawless traditions. It’s about Jesus.

So if you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. Let go of the impossible standards and remember: Jesus doesn’t ask for perfection. He invites us to rest, rejoice, and find peace in Him.
