Surviving
from trouble in this world unscathed emotionally or physically is impossible.
Yet some people believe they should be exempted from hardships. When the
struggles of living surface God's goodness is questioned. Stress overload may
cause the toughest personality to react in ways that are contrary to personal
values and beliefs.
No matter what your status in life is,
stress will seek you out because stress is a natural part of living. How it's
managed determines whether it has a positive or negative effect on you as a
person. God gives insight plus emotional and physical stamina for coping with
stress, regardless of its source.
So how do you cope with unwanted stress? One
way is to shift your focus from the source of agitation to whatever God has
provided that makes your life worth living. Secondly, give thanks to God with a
sincere, appreciative heart. "Count your blessings, name them one by one,
and it will surprise you what God has done." This will put a productive spin
on stress management.
