Scripture does cover
anxiety, worry and trouble (which is stress) and shows us how to deal with these
things.
How we get stressed
Matt 6:25 NKJV
"Therefore I say to you, do
not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor
about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body
more than clothing?
Matt
6:27 NKJV Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his
stature?
To deal with stress, believe in Jesus Christ
John
14:1 NKJV "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in
Me.
Life with Jesus,
our Lord makes coping with stress an possible.
Paul explains what we are to do about being
anxious (stress)
Philippians
4:6-7 NKJV Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; (7)
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Psalms
55:22 NKJV Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall
never permit the righteous to be moved.
John
14:27 NKJV Peace I leave with you, My
peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let
it be afraid.
The only way we can deal with stress is with
Jesus Christ,
1.
Believing in Him, 2. Trust Him, 3. Obey Him
How to reduce stress
Philippians
4:8 NKJV Finally, brethren, whatever
things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are
just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,
whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if
there is anything praiseworthy—meditate
on these things.
