Day 2 of 30 Days to Taming Your Stress

“The one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6:49 NIV

OUR lives are full of chaos every single day, why do we choose to keep running around like we have an a strong foundation under our feet when we are just throwing things on the floor hoping they stay put?

We must first build a strong foundation if we can expect to withstand the pressures of our daily lives. According to Deborah Smith Pegues “the base of our lives is built around four foundations financial, relational, mental, and physical all connecting back to our spiritual base.”

Neither of us can stand strong without having a firm foundation in each of the four mentioned above because all four together make our lives complete. Imagine a stool with four legs, where one of the four legs is loose. The loose leg will cause you to feel off balance the moment you sit upon the chair and eventually causing unnecessary damage.

God’s word above all else will help guide us back to a firm foundation when we become diligent to secure our foundation first thing each day before we fall victim to distractions.

IF you struggle with finding time to pray and journal, I highly recommend setting a time and place to everyday get quiet and recenter yourself.

“If you fail under pressure, your strength is not very great” – Proverbs 24:10

” We cannot escape life’s troubles or stressors, but we can fortify our spirits with prayer and the Word of God so that we can have the strength and courage to respond to and overcome them”

Today’s prayer: Dear Lord, please ignite in me a passion for prayer and for Your Word so that I may secure my spiritual foundation and weather the storm when they arise in my life.
