HOW TO DEAL WITH STRESS

By M Chitra Leave a Comment

We’ve all experienced stress at one point or another. From being caught in traffic on our way to a job interview to dealing with the death of a family member, we’ve all been in a situation that makes us feel we’ve been given more than we can handle. Stress can also result when seemingly minor problems are ignored instead of solved right away. For instance, borrowing some money from someone to pay off credit card debt may not seem like a big deal at first. But with no real lifestyle change on your part, it’s not hard to imagine this could eventually snowball into real trouble that causes stress. It is an unpleasant feeling and one that is familiar to all of us. But unfortunately, it is a part of life. Rather than trying to avoid it completely, we are better off learning how to cope with it more effectively.

At a glance, the Bible doesn’t seem to offer any solutions to stress. Stress itself sounds like a modern concept, not something anyone in the Bible would know how to relate to. But in fact, the Bible tells plenty of stories about people who were suffering. An often cited example of this would be the story of Job, who lost literally everything he had all at once. Job started out as a well-to-do man and a model citizen, someone God was particularly proud of. Satan argued that of course Job was well-behaved and faithful to God—he had everything. So Satan took away his children and all of his property, convinced that it would immediately turn Job against God. But Job, devastated as he was, did not curse God. Instead, he stayed faithful and simply said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:20, NASB).

Job isn’t the only person in the Bible who knows what it’s like to be stressed. There are many others. Abraham was told to sacrifice his son Isaac. Joseph was sold as a slave at a young age by his own brothers. Moses had to lead an entire nation that did not always appreciate what he did. And in the New Testament, there is Jesus’ mother. Mary was an unmarried young woman when an angel came to her and told her she would be carrying a child. During her time, a woman pregnant outside of wedlock would be killed—stoned to death. But Mary, like others before her, stayed faithful and simply said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38, ESV). These faithful followers who experienced stress in some pretty desperate situations, coped with their stress through faith.

It’s easy to believe in God when everything is going well, but during difficult times, it’s a lot easier to wonder if God has abandoned us.

Knowing how to cope with stress effectively is important for various reasons. To begin with, poor coping mechanisms can negatively impact both your physical and mental health. It can turn you into an irritable person and ruin your relationships with other people. If not properly dealt with, stress can lead to clinical depression, which is hard to snap out of once you get there. Furthermore, it is also in times of stress that many people struggle with their faith. It’s easy to worship God and believe in him when everything is going well for us, but during difficult times when the exact opposite thing happens, it’s a lot easier to wonder if God has abandoned us or maybe if He even exists at all. But rather than quickly dismissing him, there are several things you can do to help yourself.

First, follow the example of people in the Bible and stay faithful. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (NRSV). It is difficult when there are a lot of things on our minds. But we can’t overly worry about something that may not necessarily be helped, or something we’ve done everything in our power to prevent. At the end of the day, God is the one in control. Believing in God, we have to take comfort in the fact that we trust him with our lives and with the situations in our lives; the easy and the difficult. As with everything that we do, prayer should take the forefront while we are dealing with our situations.

As you are praying, or even if you are having a difficult time praying because you are so stressed, take a step towards acknowledging that there’s a problem.This can also be hard at times. Many of us like to be in control, and one way to feel in control is to deny that there’s a problem at all. Alternatively, some of us may recognize a problem but choose not to worry about it or hope it’ll go away on its own. Neither of these, needless to say, are effective ways to deal with a problem. The third step would be to identify the root cause of our problems, which can still be hard to do when our emotions prevent us from thinking clearly. If this is the case, start organizing your thoughts. Write them down or talk about them with someone. List all of the things you worry about and decide which ones are important or urgent, and which ones aren’t. Prioritize the ones that are both important and urgent, and cross out the ones that are neither. Then slowly work your way through these problems, keeping in mind that a reasonable amount of time is needed for real change to happen.

In the meantime, you should also start a healthy lifestyle, if you haven’t already maintained one. Eating nutritious meals, sleeping the right amount of time, and exercising regularly all can help reduce the effects of stress. Stress can normally disrupt our eating or sleeping patterns, which in turn can affect our mood. Try not to turn to comfort food or to sleep more than you need as ways to escape reality. Although food and sleep can provide temporary relief and is acceptable every once in a while, they don’t really solve the problem and in the long run will probably hurt you. Regular exercise can also help improve your mood. Running around the block may seem pointless when you still have a laundry list of seemingly more important things, but exercise can actually help you clear your head. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but you will also be able to think better and get more done.

Whatever you do, don’t cut off contact with your family and friends. It’s tempting to take some time off to focus on working on your personal problems, but more likely than not, this plan will backfire and put you in a worse situation than you were before. Family and friends can give some good advice with your situation and can help you keep things in perspective. They will be the ones telling you to relax and reminding you that you are stressing more than you should be.

No matter what you do to cope with your stress, make it a point to make God part of your stress-easing process. As Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (NRSV). As the old saying goes, do your best and God will take care of the rest.

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it th “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” – Haldir⁠
🍁⁠
In Lothlorien, Haldir is encouraging a downcast Fellowship with a glimpse of the larger story in which they find themselves. His words reflect the apostle Paul’s encouragement to the church, that we “do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope” (1 Thess. 4:13). For there is a form of grief from which there is no recovery – one in which there is no resurrection of the dead. If death is the final word, then we must suffer grief without hope, grief that diminishes our love for life because of the crushing weight of the loss we’ve experienced. But Tolkien believed that death was not the end; therefore, we may experience the beautiful juxtaposition in our own lives of deep sorrow mixed with rivers of joy. Instead of crippling us, our grief may actually help to cultivate in our character the virtues of faith, hope, and love that are necessary to continue to carry our heaviest burdens. ⁠

The Bible stresses that despite our differences we The Bible stresses that despite our differences we are called to love each other above our political positions. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:12-14). You may feel like how politics and religion intersect in the public sphere communicate the exact opposite of this, and you’d be right. Media outlets report drama and conflict. Gracious and loving political opponents are not newsworthy.⁠

The trees, with their bark, the skin of the forest The trees, with their bark, the skin of the forest, with its scars and wrinkles, lean toward me, and brush me with their limbs. The leaves beg me to examine their veins. “Have you seen this?” Each different, but each spectacular. The infinite busy creatures. The carpet of green, the dome of blue.⁠
.⁠
A few moments later, I feel like an amazing creature in a world amazingly made. I feel the astounding power of God, where the smallest thing around me, a leaf, an ant, is more complicated, and alive and amazing than anything humanity has ever thought of.⁠

Really, there is nothing like it. The author C.S. Lewis noted that the best place to take a non-believing scientist or a real thinker is nature.  Eventually the noise of God in nature is deafening.⁠
.⁠
Once you’re in that place, just a few minutes into your walk, your mouth will hardly be able to keep from pouring out praise to God. It becomes so easy. Connecting to God like that, in praise, as a consequence of observing nature, is so freeing and so empowering that you will return to your office balanced and ready, clear headed and encouraged.⁠
.⁠
The prayer that most blesses God, most blesses the one who prays it. And there is almost no easier way than from within the sanctuary of nature, which itself raises up its branches to him in prayer with every sunrise.⁠

Each person comes to a Bible passage with his own Each person comes to a Bible passage with his own culture, language, and historical understanding. Sometimes we use these to interpret the Bible, but the hard work of bible study requires that you get rid of those things and interpret the passage by allowing it to speak for itself in its own language, cultural context, and historical background. In other words, interpretation is hard work because you are trying to to discover what the passage meant to its (original) audience 2000 years ago (even though we are reading it today). ⁠

Everything we do should be done for the ultimate e Everything we do should be done for the ultimate enjoyment of God. For instance, our enjoyment of a loving relationship with our spouse is a reflection of our relationship with God, and is therefore something God uses in order for us to better understand his love and how we can love him better.⁠
🌱⁠
This entails that God has given us the Bible as a means to an end. The point of reading the Bible is to come to enjoy God better and more fully. It might seem odd, or even a little sacrilege to think of the Bible as a means to an end. This is because we rightly think of the Bible as holy or sacred. But, it is not God. It is holy and sacred insofar as it is the word of God, given to us so we can better understand who God is. ⁠
🌱⁠
By reading Scripture we learn more about God, his work in the world, his plan for us, and his expectations for us. This is one of the means God has provided for us to enjoy him more. In fact, St. Augustine of Hippo believed that if a Christian could hypothetically enjoy God perfectly in this life, that they would no longer need to read the Bible. Of course because we will not come to love God perfectly in this life, reading, meditating on, and yes, memorizing scripture, will regularly be a source of knowledge that help us to love God more. However, Augustine wants his readers to remember, that knowledge is not the goal for reading the Bible.⁠

People with unbelieving hearts only seek after wha People with unbelieving hearts only seek after what prospers them. Apart from Jesus, we set in motion lives filled with harm, with no hope and no future. A person can only have hope and a future when life is lived out for Christ. We get light through reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians. This light of life can be obtained through an open line of communication with the one who gives it—Jesus. Apart from him, life can appear meaningless. Our purpose in life is to glorify God with who we are and what we have. –Steven Butwell⁠

Even as God demonstrated love by sending Jesus to Even as God demonstrated love by sending Jesus to die on the cross to take punishment for our sins, God reminded people of the importance of fearing him. God is not only our savior, comforter, and friend who promises to be with us always (Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20), but also the most powerful being in the universe. There is a place for the right kind of fear—the reverential awe and respect—in our lives.⁠

Like the Psalmist, John describes Jesus as God’s Like the Psalmist, John describes Jesus as God’s Word who brings light and life to the darkness. Jesus is God’s Word that comes to us, to those who are dwelling in darkness. In fact, this is exactly what Jesus declares his mission to be in John 12:46: “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” This Light and Darkness imagery pervades the gospel of John. People love darkness because they don’t want their actions, thoughts, motives to be exposed by the light. But the truth is that deep down we need (and want) to be seen. We want to be loved despite our dirtiest deeds and foulest feelings. We need to restore the relationship that Adam and Eve once had with God–complete openness, and deep love–but we can’t do it on our own. Only God can (and did through Jesus) bring that relationship back.⁠

In John 15:1 Jesus says that God is the gardener a In John 15:1 Jesus says that God is the gardener and he prunes every branch that does not produce fruit. A person stuck in his or her ways of sin is like a prickly shrub growing a lot of branches with no fruit. These branches must be removed so good fruit can grow. In the same way as a bush is unable to prune itself, a person who is living in sin is unable to remove all the unfruitful branches in life. Paul described this condition in chapter seven of Romans when he called himself a wretched man and realized only Jesus can change him.⁠
-⁠
Jesus provides the essential elements for growth; he gives us his Word (the Bible) for fertilizer, other believers for sunshine, and the Holy Spirit for water. When our roots begin to receive this new water, sunshine, and fertilizer, new branches begin to grow. This time the branches are not prickly bushes, but beautiful new branches adorned with the fruit of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control,” (Galatians 5:22). Our old acquaintances will marvel at who we have become. When we allow God to be the gardener, he will shape us into his design.⁠

As Christians, we are not just called to forgive others in our hearts but keep them at an arm’s length away. No, we are called to be of one heart and one mind (Acts 4:32) with our brothers and sisters—we are called to be reconciled.⁠

We are faced with a challenge: to make God the cen We are faced with a challenge: to make God the center and purpose of our lives in a world of demands. God asks us to listen for his voice, and it’s no wonder why he chose to speak to Elijah in a “still, small voice” in 1 Kings 19:12-13. He doesn’t always shout at us because he wants us to choose to listen, to put other things aside so that all of our focus is towards discerning his will in the specifics of our lives. We have his will for us in general, as communicated in the Bible, which is to make disciples of all nations, to glorify the one true God, to serve no other gods, to love our neighbors as ourselves, etc., but sometimes we need to figure out how those general plans fit the specifics of our lives. Hearing God’s voice is part of how we relate to him, but in those moments of uncertainty, quieting ourselves becomes even more important.⁠

"Remembering God's promises and his faithfulness a "Remembering God's promises and his faithfulness as a community will help us to endure our sorrows for the night, for joy comes in the morning." @slimkeman from his article The Beauty of Community & The Beast of Isolation 🌤 Can you name some of God's promises that keep you encouraged and grounded? We'd love to hear in the comments below - and just maybe it might be the hope someone else is needing right now! 🤗⁠
“Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors “Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keepin’ me awake. I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it’s gonna take. A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make.” ⁠
⁠
As P.T. Barnum sings these words to Charity in the beautiful montage of their young lives, we are captivated by the hope that they share, the possibilities of their bright future, and the chance of their love overcoming the wall between privilege and poverty that keeps them apart. The Greatest Showman asks us to wrestle with the quest for the holy grail of our modern world: success and happiness. ⁠
What is the good life? If a million of our wildest dreams came true, would we truly be happy?⁠
⁠
In Jesus, we find a man who invites us into his presence with these words: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He is the only one who can fill “the infinite abyss” of desire in our souls. When you have fully devoted yourself and your dreams to your Creator, you will discover that “everything you ever want” and “everything you ever need” is “right here in front of you” in Christ Jesus.⁠

Every day in sub-Saharan Africa, one child in ten Every day in sub-Saharan Africa, one child in ten under the age of five dies of a preventable cause, and nearly every day in America eight in ten adults consume coffee. What do these numbers have to do with each other? A lot, according to the One Cup Project, which is using America’s love for coffee to reduce the number of children dying in Africa by converting coffee profits into life-saving aid.⁠
⁠
The One Cup Project started in 2010, when Christian Kar, the founder of an award-winning Seattle-based coffee company, partnered with the Christian humanitarian aid organization, World Vision.Remarkably, every dollar spent on One Cup Coffee generates a dollar of aid for Africa.⁠
⁠
Buy some coffee, put up a post on your Facebook page, ask your church, local café, or workplace to change their coffee, or run a One Cup Fundraiser. In doing so, you just may help hurting people find healing, hope, and life. Change the world for the better, one cup at a time.⁠

When someone accepts Jesus, they leave their old p When someone accepts Jesus, they leave their old priorities behind and make Jesus the center of their life. Jesus calls each of us to share the good news with the world. He came to give living water to a thirsty world, and we have the honor and privilege of sharing his message by the power of the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39).⁠
⁠
The most important thing you can do is enter each conversation with a posture of prayer. Pray for the person you’re sharing with, that God would open their heart to accept him. Pray that God would give you the words to say. And a loving way to say them.⁠
⁠
Expect God to work in your relationship and use you to share Jesus through your friendship in his own timing. No matter how long you have been a believer, you can share Jesus with the confidence that he is with you and that he will use you for his glory.⁠
