Someone said, “Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven’t fallen asleep yet!” Stress is a powerful tool Satan uses against us to keep our minds so FRAZZLED that we can’t FOCUS on God and what He wants us to do.
GOOD NEWS! There’s help! The best way to avoid thinking about the areas in which you are STRESSED is by meditating upon areas in which you are BLESSED! Over and over, the Bible tells us to meditate (think about) God’s Word (Ps. 1:2). This is what keeps us focused. So, determine now to guide and guard your mind today.
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Phil. 4:8)
