Help me I'm stressed!

Proverbs 17:24 Good News Translation (GNT)

24 An intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off in many directions.

In Stress, my...

1. Resistance is lower.

Luke 21:34 New International Version (NIV)

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.

2. Emotions are inconsistent.

Job 9:25 New Century Version (NCV)

25 “My days go by faster than a runner;
    they fly away without my seeing any joy.

3. Life loses meaning.

Proverbs 21:5 The Message (MSG)

5 Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run;
    hurry and scurry puts you further behind.

4. Relationship with God seems distant. 

Proverbs 19:2 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

2 A person without knowledge is no good.
A person in a hurry makes mistakes.

The distance between the truth I know and the truth I live equals the pain I experience.  Narrow that gap and you will have less pain and less stress.
