How To Keep From Stressing Out (Biblical Methods)

9/1/2018

Today: Worry less, smile more, and pray often. You are amazing, remember that.

Sometimes you just need to relax, breath, let go, and just live in the moment. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best. Empty yourself and let God fill you.

I would like to share these biblical methods or healthy ways from Pastor Gilbert Galves of Word of Hope One Mall (A Christian Family Church) on how to deal with stress.

Enjoy and be blessed by the article that you are about to read below.

Bible Reading: Philippians 4:6-13

Refuse To Worry About Anything (Philippians 4:6)

Worry is unreasonable... Worry is useless.

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand,
that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

1 Peter 5:6

Talk To God About Everything

- If the Bible is close, God is silent, if the Bible is open God is speaking.
- Make it a habit that if you pray you have your Bible with you.
- Prayer is more of listening than talking, listening to God's instructions.

Thank God In All Things

In EVERYTHING give thanks to the LORD.
Ungrateful people are unhappy people.

Think About Good Things (Philippians 4:8)

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

Romans 2:2

What gets your mind, that holds your mind.
Begin your day with God, God's principles and His love.
Listen to people who knows God and obeys God.

Be Content With Everything (Philippians 4:11-12)

What is important? and what is your priority?
Wait for the right time.
Contentment can be learned and discontentment can be unlearned.

To Achieve Contentment:

a. Stop comparing ourselves to others.
b. Stop thinking that when you have more you are better off.

When you have needs go to God first.
Give your all to God while waiting for His coming.

A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23
