Stress Relief: What can we do about it?

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7

What are some of the solutions?

1. Instead of trying to control, it to God.

 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

2. Instead of trusting , learn that God is

 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 

3. Instead of focusing on what causes stress, focus on .

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Hebrews 12:1-2

But if we confess our sins to him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27
