LET'S DE-STRESS BY BEING STILL

 

"Be still, and know that I am God . . ."

- Psalm 46:10

WHEN was the last time we sat still and did absolutely nothing?

Being "still" truly has become a lost art. It's next to nonexistence. The average person is constantly caught up in a bustle of activity. We rush here; rush there; rush, rush, rush, everywhere. 

Why wouldn't there be stress, stress, stress, everywhere? Be not deceived, the more speedy life becomes, the more stress it brings.    

Many are beginning to realize that hopping here and there doesn't render our lives better; only busier. And, indeed, more stressful.   

Though we all are exposed to a super-fast world, stress survivors purposely choose times to be still. We are convinced that being still in the presence of God, brings about the peace of God.

When we know God in a personal way--through a personal relationship--we're confident in seeking His Word for stress. No questions about it, we need God's supernatural strength to eliminate annoying stress and experience genuine de-stress.

If we aspire to do something grand this summer, let's de-stress by habitually choosing time to be still and to seek God's will.  


Peace I leave with you . . .

LET'S DE-STRESS DEVOTIONAL



"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him;

and he shall bring it to pass."

- Psalm 37:5

  

"Devoted to relieving stress using principles based on God's Word."

LET'S DE-STRESS WITH SUMMER DREAMS

"And Joseph dreamed a dream . . ."

~ Genesis 37:5 KJV

 

A SUMMER DREAM?! . . . Why, of course!  Summer dreams equal summer fun. And what better way to de-stress than lots and lots of summer fun?

 

Considering all our dreams of summer fun, if not careful, we can find ourselves overcome by stress. We can easily agree that all summer dreams don't end with fun.  

 

Quite often, we stress over lack of time, energy, and material resources needed to make our summer dreams come true. When comparing the summer dreams we can reasonably attain to those The Jones' are enjoying, we stress even greater.   

Stress survivors are discovering how to dream with less stress, and, fortunately, less expenses. We're reminded of Cinderella and her dream of going to "The Ball."  She had no money, no transportation, no friends, no nothing whatsoever -- and yet, she dreamed. Amazingly . . . all her dreams came true. 

If not into classic tales, let's consider a biblical truth about a young lad's dream.  "Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more." (Genesis 37:5 NIV)  

In spite of a bad situation and unpleasant circumstances, Joseph kept on dreaming. And what happened? His dreams, too, eventually came true.   

Come on, let's de-stress with summer dreams. Whether our dreams lean towards a Cinderella summer or something of a more serious nature, it doesn't cost a single cent to dream. And . . . it's an awesome means for summer de-stress.

the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

LET'S DE-STRESS WITH A NEW SEASON

"To every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heaven . . ." 
~Ecclesiastes 3:1      



SUMMER is right around the corner. Again, God gives A NEW SEASON.

Stress survivors welcome changing seasons. We anticipate the progression of big and beautiful changes; weather changes . . . scenery changes . . .  routine changes . . . and even de-stress changes. 

No doubt, new seasons bring on new stresses. As exciting as the summer season can be, certain stresses are bound to creep in. That's why it's important that we consider a de-stress plan--before the season sets in.

With so many summer options to choose from, we can embrace all kinds of de-stress. And, get this, money need not be an issue. Some of the most phenomenal means of de-stress are those simple things surrounding us.

 Sit down. Look around. Let's de-stress with a new season. And let's enjoy all those wonderful things God has given us. 

Peace I leave with you . . .
