Dear Viewers, Greetings in Christ. Easter is near and it is still time to renew the Spirit in you. Give your worries and stresses to God and let Him take care of you. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6). |

| Stress can be either eustress (good stress) or distress. Most of us have distresses which cause anxiety, physical and spiritual problems. Eustress helps us to accomplish every day things. Let us focus on how to remain cool and manage our stress. Some of the ways to manage stress are the 7 T's: Trust in the Lord totally (Ps 61). Turn everything over to Him such as troubled relationships, difficult finances, health problems, and spiritual distress (Ps 45:2). "Give thanksgiving to the Lord, for He is good" (Ps 135:1). Take a break from every day's life doldrums and change your scenery by doing a spiritual retreat, walk outdoors, visit someone and seek the Lord (Acts 17 -27). And finally talk to yourself and count to ten and say "I am calm." Read the Book of Psalms and discover how much peace one can feel when reading them.
"Happy is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked But delights in the Lord." (Ps 1:1) | |
