The
word stress can be defined differently for anyone managing a difficult situation.
"I'm stressing," is a negative expression known to everyone who believes
stress is undesirable; yet without stress there would be limited motivation to
make needed and necessary changes. Stress challenges us to reach outward and
inward for solutions to bad situations.
While it's true that stress can be
overwhelming, it doesn't have to be disastrous. If your attitude encourages
surrender and defeat, then stress can be devastating. It's your attitude that
supports the will to challenge difficult situations. The readiness to challenge
and change situations determines the negative or positive influence stress has
on your life.
When Jesus called his disciples, he endowed
them with resilience that made it possible to challenge and change what they previously
believed was impossible to do. When troubles came, their faith prevented stress
from becoming overwhelming. They believed Christ Jesus was on their side and was
the source of their empowerment. This is what he offers to you.
