You can have more peace and less stress if you focus more on Christ and others rather than on yourself or your situation (whatever that might be). Often the problem, when we are experiencing stressful situations, is that we focus more on ourselves rather than on Christ or other people. We also tend to focus more on our situations rather than on our purpose of the mission. The key is to focus more on joy, more on relationships, and more on prayer. The result is that the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
