Stressed Out All the Time? Do This.

This year, more than ever, we know that we can't control a lot of things that we want to control.

That’s why I’m going to give you seven ideas to help you relieve your stress, remove your anxiety, and calm yourself down.

 

Why Stress Doesn’t Have to Control Your Life with Rebekah Lyons

Author Rebekah Lyons joins me to talk about her book Rhythms of Renewal and how to trade stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose. We talk about:

• Why you need rhythms in your life
• How to take inventory of your life
• Practical ways to combat stress when you feel trapped in a life that’s overwhelming

 

Here’s What the Bible Says About Stress

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” — Philippians 4:6–8 (NIV)

Here are some journal questions to think about and pray about as you process these verses and apply them in your life:

• What’s stressing you out?
• Write down a prayer presenting those requests to God.
• What’s true in your life? What’s pure, excellent, praiseworthy or admirable?
