GET RID OF THE STRESSOR WITH THE WORD

Phil. 4:6-7 Be anxious about nothing "even" Psa. 56:3 When I'm afraid "because" Luke 8:14-15 Worry chokes God's seed "so" Pro.3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all our hearts and do not lean on our own understanding

Stress will kill us quicker than anything in the drugstore. Although we know we are stressed out, we still don't know what it is, so we're at a loss for how to cope with it. We are most stressed when angry, have fear, worry, grief, frustration, anxiety, etc. No one really agrees on stress, but all medical science agrees that stress is a major underlying cause of most illnesses. 

Father, with all the chaos and confusion around us, people are becoming more stressed. Lord, we struggle with mixed emotions as our bodies and minds try to keep up. Lord, some of us are Spiritually drained, and sometimes our day-to-day challenges outweigh the truth buried inside. Father, let us remember the prayer of David "Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within us." Lord, we praise Your Holy name. Let us not forget our authority through Your Son and give us the wisdom and knowledge to use it against the stressor. So, let the Holy Spirit grant us peace of mind and calm the atmosphere around us. Lord, our souls, are like a turbulent sea right now, and we can't seem to find our balance. So, we ask for Your strength and clarity of mind to give us eyes that see the path to healing in Jesus and Amen.
