Question of the day: How do you handle stress? As women, we seem to stress out more than we should. A lot of us will just let loose and ball our eyes out. Some of us retreat to a private room and become depressed. Some of us eat when we are stressed or we don't eat at all. There are so many battles we as women are fighting today. The need to look good, the need to have a perfect family and a perfect life. The world is coming at us from all angles. You could be going through financial issues, marriage issues, child issues, etc. Whatever the situation is, take it to God. He already knows what you are going through. He is just waiting on you to come to Him and trust Him to bring you through this storm. God has a purpose and a plan for your life and all you have to do is believe in Him and trust Him. God says in Phillipians 4:6-7 "6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God wants us to come to Him all the time, especially when we are stressed. 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 In every situation, the good and the bad, we should go to God. We need to go to God. How are you handling your stress today? | |

As a wife and mother, I am always telling myself I need to do this and I need to do that. I feel like I am always failing at everything I do. We need to relax and enjoy life instead of always being in hurry, always trying to please others and of always trying to perfect. Lets face it, none of us are perfect and we never will be. Jesus is the only one that is perfect. We need Jesus everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. When we have Jesus, we have a peace where we d...o not have the need to be the best or perfect. With Jesus, we don't have the need to constantly criticize ourselves because we are not doing our best. Our Jesus will love us no matter how imperfect we are. Do you want to stop trying to be so perfect? Do you want to have that peace beyond all understanding? If yes, then you need Jesus! He is there waiting on you with open arms, ready to catch you when you fall, ready to wipe your tears away. Just call on Him and He is all you need!!
We are starting a new study this year to help us all grow more in Christ. The study is Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh Demoss. If you have the book, great! You can follow along with us and participate with us. If you do not have the book, that is okay. I will be posting each chapter and study questions on here and on my facebook page. I hope you all will join us in growing together while we grow more in Christ. God Bless!!
