Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
Many things can cause stress and often times you may be bringing it on yourself. Some things such as not trusting God can handle stuff. Maybe not spending enough time in prayer or the word. Perhaps not putting God first but letting self rule. Maybe sticking your nose in someone else's business. These are just a few thoughts I had on this.
What do you think? If you looked at your life what do you suppose needs to be changed to give you a stress free life? The verse for today is a good one to commit to memory. Basically do not be like this world as you should be transformed to be like Christ. You can't attempt to do both. Live in the world but don't be of this world. Often people may be confronting issues in their own life and know there needs to be a change but the world and it's system is tugging in them too hard.
Alas God is always here. He knows our struggles. If you are praying for someone close to you caught up in the lies of the world and getting sucked into deception keep on lifting them up in prayer. God is not finished yet. Have faith. Believe receive and doubt do without.
PRAYER: Lord I know I need to talk to you in prayer and oftentimes I allow the tyranny of the urgent or junk in this world to squeeze you out. Shame on me. Forgive me know better. Draw my loved ones closer to you who have strayed away. Help me to rest in you and therefore be less stressed out. In Jesus' name. Amen.
