"Cast your burden upon the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken." (Psalm 55:22)
It can seem as though stress is an inevitable part of living in the modern world. Life is busy, and we live in uncertain times. Learning to manage stress effectively not only improves daily functioning and physical health, but it can also sanctify the spiritual life. When we give ourselves the right tools to manage overwhelm, we make room in our lives to listen to how God may be mercifully directing us in this season. It is an opportunity to cast these burdens on the Lord, not in order to escape them, but to trust in him more fully through them.
Consider taking inventory of what may be causing stress and learn about effective coping strategies.
Coping strategies do not need to be complicated; they just need to be different than your current ways. Any small change can make a big difference in how you feel.
