1. Look for Jesus not to stress

1 Corinthians 9: 26 (NIV) “Therefore I do no run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.”

Beating the air = weary. Chasing after the wind

- Spend their time and energy right on the right things

Stress affects everyone differently. However, there are some things we can do to help manage our stress levels. First, try to identify the source of your stress. Is it work related? Family related? Financial related? If you find yourself constantly worrying about something, take steps to address the issue. This will help reduce your stress level.

Undivided attention, looking away from all distractions in order to fix one’s gaze on Jesus. Looking = aphorao

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12: 1 – 2

2. Believe in Jesus for not stress

Distraction, a preoccupation with things causing anxiety, stress and pressure. Matthew 6: 25, 32 – 33

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing.

Worry = merimnao

There are two main types of stress: acute stress and chronic stress. Acute stress happens suddenly and lasts only a short period of time. Chronic stress is more prolonged and tends to last longer than an hour. It's also known as "burnout."

Matt ¨6v. 32 – 33

“For after all these things the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father know that you need all these things.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

3. Relax in Jesus for not stress

We must find time to rest in God’s presence.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11: 28 – 30

There are several ways to reduce stress and anxiety. One of the easiest ways to reduce stress is by relax in the Jesus. Helps us relax and unwind. Try to prayer to bed at the every night and when wake up every morning.

Isaiah 40 : 31 (Amp) “But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) shall change and renew their strength and power, they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun); they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.”

If you find yourself feeling anxious or stressed is to focus on Jesus else besides your worries. Focus on Jesus, sing or listening to praise.

Like Elijah 1 Kings 19

A fresh awareness of God; a refocusing (v. 11-14)

A new direction and activity (v. 15-17)

A reality check (v. 18; see Rom. 11:4)

When we reject God’s principles, we’re adversely affected. We’ll pay a price such as poor health, loneliness, depression, lack of love and a multitude of various social and spiritual problems.
