Stress; I thought since the holidays can be a stressful
time today would be a good time to post this.; 1.Lessen your load. Write down all your cares and responsibilities in order of priority, then
eliminating the least important.
2.Recognize your limit and call a halt before you reach your limit. 3.Get feelings “off your chest” by sharing them with a trusted
friend or counselor. 4.Stop fighting situations that can’t be changed. 5. Try to avoid making too many major life changes during the course of a single year. 6.If you hold resentment towards another person, resolve your difference right away. 7. Make time for rest and relaxation. 8. Watch your diet and eating habits. 9. Get plenty of physical exercise.
10. The ultimate answer to turning stress into success is to learn to trust God and live in
harmony with his will for your daily life. As our Scripture verse for today says, “Don’t worry
about anything, instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank
him for his answers. If you do this you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful
than the human mind can understand.”
God’s peace comes through accepting, and trusting to God, those circumstances that can’t be
changed, however difficult they may be. Perhaps this is what Christ meant when he spoke of
taking up our cross daily and following him. Certainly he fully accepted his cross and trusted his
situation to God and thereby was totally vindicated.
Suggested prayer: “Dear God, again today, I commit and trust my life and way to you. Please help
me to live in harmony with the principles for daily living as found in your Word, the Bible. And
help me to remember even in my darkest hours, that my times are in your hands and, like David,
help me to trust and not be afraid. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully,
in Jesus’ name, amen.”
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank
him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more
wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as
you live in Christ Jesus.”1
