Stressed to the Max

If your world seems to be spinning out of control and you’re constantly stressed out with the demands of life–perhaps it’s time to get off the merry-go-round and evaluate “why.” It’s a terrible feeling to be constantly fighting anxiety, racing from one task to the next, never feeling fulfilled or at peace. Stress left to run rampant can destroy much more than just your physical health. Too often, it destroys relationships, your family, and spiritual life as well. It’s hard to think straight or even trust God when your life is a mess and turned upside down. Keeping that pace will not only zap all your energy but you’ll develop worry lines on your forehead that no amount of Botox will fix. Everyone experiences stress from time to time as that is just a part of life. However, when your body is in a constant state of anxiety, it’s called “chronic stress,” and that is a danger to your health. You’ll develop headaches, muscle tension, irritability, insomnia, and the list goes on. You’ll find yourself not only snapping at those you love the most but perfect strangers as well. Your grumpy attitude won’t help you develop friendships either. Fortunately there is not only a treatment for chronic stress, there is a cure! Jesus is the answer. The Bible says in Psalm 55:22, “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” What a beautiful promise. Why wait until you are stressed to the max? Give all your worries, problems and burdens to Jesus . . . and leave them there. Text: Matthew 6:34, Exodus 14:14, Luke 12:25-26, Psalm 94:19


Bible Texts:
Matthew 6:34 NKJV - "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." 

Exodus 14:14 NKJV - "The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." 

Luke 12:25-26 NKJV - "And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? "If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? 

Psalm 94:19 NKJV - In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
