What do you do when stress is ruling your life? How do you handle stress when it seems to control your every move? Who do you turn to when stress knocks you down? Things that can cause stress, usually comes from an outside force, but it only enters your being if you let it. When stress rules your life, your personal happiness is affected, and you can respond to situations in a very overblown way. If you let it, stress can and will cause problems in every area of your life—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Philippians 4:6 reads, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Proverbs 12:25a says, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down...” Sometimes, what we need to do is separate ourselves from others for a few minutes. Try exercising, meditating, reading the Bible, journaling, and listening to Christian music, even a drive in your car can help. But most importantly, talk to God, then trust Him to see you through every moment of the day. Remember, this too will pass. It is not the end of the world keep your eyes upon the LORD. Praise Him. It is something to try. God Bless. Amen.
