Is There Help for Remaining Calm when under Stress?

Remaining calm in stressful situations is extremely difficult to achieve and maintain, but it’s essential to achieving healthy objectives. The temptation is to become angry, lose control, and use harsh language along with impulsive behaviors that are often motivated by fear.

While all struggles within a relationship can’t be avoided, they do not have to be destructive. Remaining calm and composed in the mist of strife is possible by remaining focused on the positive attributes of the other person rather than making a point or winning the conflict.

One important source for remaining calm is to acknowledge that Jesus is capable of calming the most severe storms of life as we seek his presence. 

A powerful hymn allows us to remain focused and in control if we stay centered on its challenge: “Be still, my soul! The Lord is on your side.” This message will defeat any effort to sweep you off course. So may the peace that Jesus gives rule in your heart during this Easter season.

Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.
