I don't want to overreact, but, I feel like saying; "I hate stress!" Now, my Mom told me not to use the word "hate". But I really don't like stress! However, I can't seem to escape it. So, I am learning to become stronger and better because of it.
How do you handle stress? What do you do?
For me, I go to God, worship, listen to worship music, pray and read the Bible. That helps me! I also try to rest and seek counsel where it may be helpful. I really do like one of the phrases of the devo for today; "As you look for what God is teaching you in your stressful times, you will become better equipped to deal with other stressful situations."
I still turn to Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:4-8, both passages help me hold strong in the big stress times of life.
God bless you,
PJ

Trouble comes in many forms. Some by my own bad choices and some because I live in this old sinful world. When I make bad choices and realize it and repent or correct, I still have to live with the consequences. When trouble comes my way through no fault of my own, I still have to live with it. How I live with it is a choice I must make. Do I grumble and complain and blame others, or do I trust God to see me through it gaining wisdom and strength for the future? My daily devotions and communication with the Father help me see the big picture. This life is but a short time and trouble will pass. Someday, I will be with the Father and there will be no more trouble to come my way. Pretty good promise in my book. Father, help me to look to you when trouble comes my way that I will Trust you for the lessons to be learned.
