From one of my devotionals In Philippians 4, Paul talks about being anxious, supplication, being in prayer, and Thanksgiving letting your requests be made known to God. The Lord’s remedy for stress is Prayer, bringing every concern to Him, no matter how big or small. Having a God-centered perspective is the key to maintaining a calm spirit both in the midst of daily stress and in times of crisis. We must live in obedience to God. We all live in a stressful world, but in reality, every Christian can choose to live in peace rather than under a burden of anxiety. If we let apprehension rule our hearts, it will interfere with sleep, disrupt concentration, hinder productivity, steal joy and even cause health problems. BUT, when Christ, the Prince of Peace, has full authority over our lives, He guards our hearts and minds by building a wall of protection against worry. God’s peace will always bind us back together so we can be whole again. While we cannot control many of the stressful situations in our lives, we can decide which master we will serve.
