Worry and Stress 🙈
Those who have occasional bouts of worry and stress will have some degree of understanding, but only those, like me, who have lived life experiencing never ending seasons of worry and stress will truly understand the impact it has on your life.
In this post, I don’t come to you as someone with all the answers but as someone who has had a serious life restricting health diagnosis, as a result of the impact on my body of decades of worry and stress.
To allow me to function and push forward into all that God has called me to, I need to continually meditate upon some biblical truths in order to deal with worry and stress. I hope they are helpful to others.
1. God doesn’t love you less because you experience seasons of worry and stress.
2. Even when no one else understands, God understands.
3. God’s plans for you are for good.
4. The enemy is defeated.
5. Fear is a liar.
6. Investing time in your mental and physical health is not selfish. It’s wisdom.
7. Meditating on God’s Word and His promises, drives out the lies of the enemy.
8. Every tormenting thought must flee at the name of Jesus.
