What is stress? It is a monster. It devours willpower, causes our minds to spin faster than a ride at the PNE and kills our immunity slowly, it can even be deadly!
I'm not gonna lie I am so stressed out right now. Finals and Reports are all due next week and I have barely started on them. I know its my own fault..stress is the child of my procrastination.
At the same time I feel at peace about it. I know that my God is sovereign and has everything under control. Even when I feel like I'm doomed for failure or not capable he reminds me that everything will be alright. I am his child and he has a plan to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
For I know that..
"No eye has seen
No ear has heard
No mind has conceived
What God has prepared
for those who love him."
His plan for us is far greater than what we can ever imagine. We try to do things on our own and just end up feeling insufficient, like we are climbing up a rope a foot at a time but falling down two until we hit the bottom. Not getting anywhere...
We can get through life on our own, but when we have our Father helping us we can do so so much more. For it is him who inspires us, gives us strength and wisdom in situations, and works through us.
Psalm 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
We do not need to stress if we have faith in his beautiful and wonderful plan for lives. Follow him with your heart and everything else will come.
School is overwhelming right now but it is a small part of God's bigger picture, his masterpiece. Give up your doubts that you will not succeed and discipline yourself to do his work. Cause hes got "You and me brother in his hands, You and me sister in his hands, hes got the whole world in his hands!"Trusting in the Lord is the ultimate stress reliever. Now go and use it!
