Don't Stress

"Don't Stress," easily said, harder to do. We all have moments and challenges in our lives that it seems the only appropriate response is to stress over it. I try not to worry about too many things and I really try not to stress too much over anything but, the gray in my hair and the wrinkles on my face would tell you that I have my stressful moments.

There are those times when we seem perplexed and troubled on every side and there seems no way out of any of it. It is these times that causes the stress. If we just knew the when it would end, or the how it was going to work out, or the effort to put forth to make it happen in our time we would be alright. Yet, it doesn't work that way. We, Christians, are to live by faith, not by sight. We are to believe that GOD is working it for our good, even when it doesn't necessarily feel that way.

Today's word is something I came across that reminds us to be faithful: "Stress make you believe that everything has to happen right now. Faith reassures you that everything will happen in GOD'S time."

It is those things that we cannot control that we often stress the most over. It is those things that we cannot control the timing of that we often stress the most over. It is those things that we cannot foresee the outcome of that we often stress the most over. I know - I DO TOO.

But, it is the fact that we want to know the outcome, and we want to know it NOW, that causes us so much stress. I pray that GOD will help me to remember that it is in His timing that all things will work together for my good. I pray that you will feel His presence through your stressful times as well. I pray that we will all faithfully remember that GOD is reminding us - DON'T STRESS.

Be Blessed,
