Stress has a way of sneaking into every part of our lives—our thoughts, our bodies, even our sleep. If you’ve ever faced anxiety so heavy it led to nightmares or physical strain, you’re not alone. Today’s reflection from Vivian Bricker reminds us that even in overwhelming seasons, God offers consolation and joy, just as Psalm 94:19 declares: “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”
Sometimes the bravest, most faith-filled choice we can make is to step away from the people, places, or situations fueling our stress and instead turn toward God’s presence. His peace is not earned—it’s a gift. And in Him, we find strength to set boundaries, rest in His promises, and release the pressure we were never meant to carry alone.
Main Takeaways
Stress can manifest physically and emotionally, but God invites us to bring it all to Him.
Boundaries are not selfish; they are often necessary for health and healing.
Psalm 94:19 reminds us that God’s consolation brings joy even in the heaviest seasons.
Choosing to step away from harmful stressors creates space for God’s peace to guard our hearts.
Bible Verse References

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.
