Stress, worry, angst, fear, nervous, anxiety
Stress is a normal part of life, we even have a whole set of hormones in her body, referred to as “stress, hormones.“ Stress can also be paralyzing, demoralizing, and destructive.
There was a time a little more than 20 years ago when I was pretty convinced that my wife, then, my girlfriend, was trying to check out on our relationship. She’s been distancing herself, mostly because she was afraid the commitment we were heading toward, but I didn’t know that. I got to where I was anxiety, twisted up inside all the time. I would constantly check my phone to see if she called or texted. In the midst of that, I found the phone.
“ “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Philippians 4:5-8 ESV

Our society is currently obsessed with the shortest, quickest tip, or trick to get anything done. The reality is, there are very few, if any healthy ways to quickly deal with anxieties, worries and fears. These take time and practice.
- Find something to be grateful for, to rejoice about
- Find another one
- Don’t take your stress out on others
- The Lord is ALWAYS near
- Pray thankfully
- Tell Him your concerns
- His astonishing peace will guard your heart and mind
None of that is a quick tip. The principles are incredibly simple, but they’re not fast or easy. These take time, submission, and a willingness to hear from the Lord. It works, but you have to go through the whole process, sometimes over and over. Lean on a brother, talk to someone, post regularly. You are not alone!
