Today we are beginning a new journey to taming our stresses

As we begin Day 1 I encourage you to keep a journal as you read

30 Days to Taming Your Stress

“Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles” Psalms 55:2

When you think of stressful situations in your life what comes to life???

Family, health, finances, work, kids, school..

Ponder your stressors big and small and write them down.. then categorize them by placing them into 1 of 2 categories 1- ones YOU could impact and 2- one outside of your control

Developing an effective coping strategy for those stressful situations outside of your control is vital to “managing your sanity” God is providing YOU all the grace you need

Sometimes we believe we must stick around to enjoy the fruits of labor because we are afraid all of OUR hard work is put to waste

Yet “many times the path to God’s PERFECT will for our lives requires us to make various transitions”.

“Transitions are sometimes mandatory if we want to achieve our destination. So it is with our ordained destiny. We are created with free will, which is not to say that God does not have a special plan for our lives, yet it is we who act outside God’s will, therefore missing the blessings He has for us. Many times God is saying “Time to transition to the next path” But we respond “I’m very familiar with the route. Can’t I just stay here and still reach my destiny?” Then we have the audacity to become frustrated or blame God when our goals seem to elude us.”

I suggest you find a quiet place today where you can sit for 30 minutes and make a list of every situation stressing you, I also encourage you to rank from most to least stressful

Today’s prayer: Father please give me the wisdom to deal with the things that bring me pressure to bear upon me so that I may respond YOUR way and bring honor to YOUR name.
