Since school started back up here at MoBap, I have noticed that more and more people that I've come to know, develop a lot of stress or receive a lot of stress in the first few weeks of classes. We get stressed out about homework that needs to get done and how well we're doing in a class, and blah blah.....the list goes on.
Stress is a nasty tool that satan uses to mess with our heads and hearts. We cannot let stress in our lives overwhelm us and get the best of us. We must look to God and let Him take our stress and turn it into comfort. He is our comforter and counselor and we should take advantage of His counsel. God knows what He is doing; we on the other hand do not.
I have found that the world's solution to getting through stressful times is waaay different than God's way. The world says to stop and take a breath and believe that you can get through whatever it is you're going through. I'm sorry, but the world's solution is crap. I mean sure I agree with the "stop and take a breath" part, but we can't really believe in ourselves because we are sinful and fallible. God is NOT sinful and He is infallible. Therefore it makes sense to look to only Him for help in times of stress.
The Bible even says "The Lord is a refuge of strength for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble" (Psalm 9:9-10)
So today be assured that when you go through times of stress, God is always there to take your stress and turn it into comfort. God's got your back :-)
Have a blessed week,
