Psalm 46:10 (ESV)
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted
among the nations,
I will be exalted
in the earth!”
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently said
that for over half the people who die before they’re 65, the basic cause of
death is stress. I read one scholar who said that between 60 and 70 percent of
people who go to see their physician have stress as the underlying cause of
their symptoms.
This is not how God wants you to live! God says we should
rest in the knowledge that He is good and cast our burdens onto Him.
I want you to do just a little thing. Without moving, take
a deep breath. And then, be still for a moment. Ask the Lord to show you what
is bringing undue stress into your life. Pray to Him, “Lord, take away my
anxiety about this issue and help me trust You to look after it today.”
As the new year begins, cast your burdens onto Jesus and
let Him take them away.
Dear Lord, help us to take the things that stress us out and
give them completely to You. Thank You for being bigger than anything that
comes our way. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
