#NUTSHELL – JANUARY 25th — STRESS SOLUTIONS – Psalm 90:12; 2 Thessalonians 5:18: One more interruption, delay, or problem may send us tumbling over the edge. Many of us try to get more done in less time with better results. We try to juggle the demands of home, work and church. This pace can dampen our spirits and frazzle our nerves and the constant rush of adrenaline can over stimulate and cause negative physical results. Sometimes we get stressed out because we are majoring in minor things. At the end of our life, many of us will realize that we have spent most of our time on what matters least and the least time on those things that matter most. We need to decide what is really important, choose our priorities and live for them. Life is full of choices. When we become more intentional about the way we spend our time and energy we learn how to bring order to our world. Psalm 90:12 tells us “Number our days and live intentionally.” We must also adapt an attitude of gratitude every day. Many of us must work to see good in life and to cultivate a grateful heart. As we do this we will feel more positive and the little things that go wrong will cease to look so important. Stress can affect the body, mind and spirit. We must pay attention to each area to reduce the effects of stress on our overall well-being. If we do not learn to control stress it will eventually control us. To protect our bodies we need adequate rest, exercise, food and to breathe deeply. To protect our minds we should think truthfully, refuse to make mountains out of mole hills and set priorities. Finally to protect our spirits we need to meditate on God and His Word, learn to trust God and pray always.
