Stress

I just read where 41% of the world’s workforce was stressed. My problem lies in the thought that the words stress and work could be used interchangeably. I’ve always found work stressful. Maybe I’ll have to bring that up to my therapist. Can one find relief?

What does the Bible say about the matter? Glad you asked.

Psalm 118:5-6 

Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

Matthew 11:28-30 

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Stress is a mechanism God uses to draw you close to Him. Stress has been common since Adam walked the planet. Give it some thought. No charge for this one or any other, for that matter.
