''Definition of stress(chambers dictionary)---The worry or pressure expirenced by a person in particular circumstances, or the state of anxiety caused by this''
For thus saith the Lord God,the Holy one of israel,in returning & rest,shall ye be saved-in quietness & in confidence,shall ye be strenghtend & ye will not''(isaiah30:15)
Stress is all about pressure,sometimes these pressure are physicals,other times they are Emotional & Psychological.pressure from the office,pressure from the things undone,pressure from memories & pressure from excessive demands,all this things tear the person apart & make once life less of a pleasure.His job is done under duress & life becomes bouring tug-of-war.His health is affected.His temper infected,he is then not a blissing to his family--then he ends up not being a blissing to his church,from tension to hyper-tension,his life generally is then a vicious cycle headind from no where to no where.
I would like to give u God-giving advice about sterss-if u are already going tru sterss,before u are stretched by stress,there are seven things you must do urgently.
(1,<PRAY> 2<PLAY> 3<PLAN> 4<THINK>5<QUIETNESS> 6<REICEVE>
PRAY---prayer is vital in time of stress,it is actually a way to off-load our bordens,(1 peter 5:7)says"cast your care upon him-for he careth for you"THE LIVING BIBLE SAYS,'Let him have all your worries & cares,for he is always thinking about you & watches everything that concerns you''.when you pray,you take issues out from yourown hands & hang them over to God,its time for you to tell jesus & by his grace u will live a stress-free life.
PLAY---I wish i could quote u a thousand scriputures about this,but this is not a sanctimonious act.This is doen-to-earth & plain practical,jesus called it leisure,Chambers Dictionary defines that word LEISURE as,''the time which one can spend as one likes,especially when one does not have to work''.What ever you can do that brakes away from the rethem of your everyday schedule & work,that is leisure.spending your time the wayu will want to,that is what i mean by PLAY.remember all work & no play makes jack a dull boy,Listen to me,jack you are really becoming a dull boy,what happens to the pretty smile you use to wear on your face? Play with your children,play with your spouse.just take it easy-learn to relax.
PLAN---Life has thought me that-failure is not the absence of success but the neglect to try,when you fail to plan you ultimately plan to fail & there is nothing more stressing than failure,in order words to succeed you must plan for it.Planning has a way of puttong life in order, & provides time for every activity so thatyour thoughts are not scattered a thousand directions,its stressing seeing your office table with lots of papers & not knowing where to start from,when you plan it helps you not to attempt to tackle your whole life in one momens,even computrs do not handle every thing at once.When you plan,please include time for family,for sports & for holidays.
THINK---Stress has alot to do with the mind than anything else.It is not that you think too much but your mind is preoccupied with stress related thoughts.The is created to operate,its really difficult to keep it absolutely quiet.Most times in a day that computer in your hands keeps working,its either working positively or negatively.the chioce is really yours,the thinking process is not automatic,so try to think the thoughts that encourage you.Learn to think happy thoughts,they have a way of relaxing you physically & emotionally
QUIETNESS---The Bibles says if you & i can be still,we will know that he is God,(isaiah 30:15)says,''in quietness & in confidents shall be yours strenght...
There is strengnt in quietness,you don't have to respond to every situation & most times too much thinking & talking drains your inner strenght,The Bible says we should br slow to speak.
Every time we speak(especially negative words)they affect our whole syster beginning from the mind,many greats achievers have learnt the art of silence,jesus knew how to get away from the crowd & be quiet before his God.The bible says he leds his disciples to quiet place away from the crowd practice verbal,physical & mental quietness,you will feel the fefreshed.
RECIEVE---it is impossible to live stress-free if you are in contentions with your God,Serving God is the most important cure for stress,When you know that God is happy with you & that he is on your side,that in itself is relaxing.There is no peace without the prince of peace,you must give your life to jesus & repent from your sins,without christ it's crisis.You can not make it on your own,you need a helping hand,you need God,jesus declared,''come unto me,all ye that labour & are heavy laden & i will give you rest''(matt 11|;28)
The call from the master is,"COME UNTO ME...''the call is for all those who labour & carry heavy loads, & the promise is,''I WILL GIVE YOU REST'',The living bible says''Come to me & i will give you rest all of you that work so herd...''God wants to make it easier for you,but you must put Him incharge of your life,you must make Hi your lord & your saviour & He will give you the peace that passes all UNDERSTANDING.
Recieve jesus as your saviour,as your helper,your healer,your provider,your strenght,your hope,your joy,happiness,peace & your best friend.Teste & see & u will realize that the Lord is good.may god almighty bless you as you put his words into considration,we pray that we that hear his word,will be the hearer & dower of his words,not the hearer & the condermer of his words.remeber GOD LOVES YOU?
