E43 (6/26/17) Stress & Distraction
When you're heartbroken,know that you can turn to God: whatever happens in life - you can always turn to God, the king of the Universe and your salvation.
In “Turn to God with Carin,” Carin Jayne Casey shared a story about a moment in her life recently, when she allowed herself to be distracted with worry and stress over future planning and life-transitions. Once stress began, it grew, causing pain and confusion. But she should have cast her cares on the Lord!
Casey shared Matthew 26:36-39 where Jesus had extreme reason to be stressed and to worry. What did he do? He spent quiet-time with God and prayed. We can use this as an example. According to Joyce Meyer on television recently, Jesus was on the cross about 6 hours, but all that he said during that time came to less than a minute! And, he was forgiving! We can all remember that when our situations (so pale in comparison) come after our own peace, and we’re tempted to take offense.
Casey emphasized how important obedience, prayer, and reading God’s word is, demonstrating our faith. We have free will to choose stress vs. peace, just as our decisions in life chose blessings vs. cursing (Deuteronomy 28), and we reap what we sow. Some Bible verses: John 14:27; 1Peter 5:6-9; Matthew 26:36-39;PsLMA 126:5-6; Job 4:8; and John 6:37-40.
