What benefit do you get from being stressed?
7 "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7) (NLT).
When you begin to worry about things your life becomes affected by it. You begin to overthink things that then may lead to stress. As I have discussed in an earlier blog 'Do you trust him', trust in God and have 100% faith in him! Let go of your worry and stress. Worry is unnecessary; God will take care of all your worries and needs, so there's no need to worry! God cares for your needs, the things you get anxious about and also the things you stress about. If anything, refuse to worry about the things you so easily worry about because it is unnecessary, unhealthy, unhelpful, and unnatural. Worrying about something doesn't change anything. You cannot exactly see the future or worry about the past because of your control. It only makes you more anxious and stressed. Worrying and stressing about things are unhelpful! Worry is unhealthy, it changes who you are as a person. The Bible says, "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7) (NLT). Worry and stress causes your body to become a hazard for health problems.
How do you de-stress? How do you stop worrying about things? Some people nap, go for some retail therapy, go out with friends, go to see a movie, or even travel to another country. These things may rest your body but it won't rest de-stress your spirit, the inner core. Only God can truly give you the inner tranquillity you need, that will de-stress you and your soul. The Bible says, 28 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) (NLT). Before you even become tired from stressing and worrying, remember that God is the Only One who understands you, your needs, and your soul. So before you take that nap, or go out with your friends, go watch a movie, or retail therapy, always remember that God wants you to spend time with Him!
Why do we turn to things instead of to run to God? Why do we not listen to God and his word? Why do we think that we can handle it on our own? Things like stress, anxiety, and worry prevent us from realising that God is waiting on us to come to Him, to seek Him and to meditate and spend time with Him! So, the first thing to do when the feeling of worry and stress try to take over is to call on God, call out for help, call for Him to help you and to give you the strength and ability when you are going though tough times, rather the desires and plans you had to try to handle your stress and worries. God wants to give you peace, so let Him!
Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for being there. Thank you that we can turn to you through our happiness and sadness. Help us to stay connected to you. To be yoked to you Lord. Thank you for helping us to reconnect with you when we detach and fall disconnected to you. Help us to give up control. Thank you God. In Jesus' name. Amen!
