Stress To Impress | Part 1

I've Hit My Stress-Hold
Everyone’s life today is over-scheduled, always switched on, and wired for productivity. But we cannot be switched on all the time. This may be the way of the world, but it does not have to be our world. We all experience stress, and have a stress-hold before things overwhelm, but God has a way for us to renew our strength.

Stress To Impress
We all have varying degrees of stress that causes our life to be in tension. Stress a reaction to particular life events or patterns and can cause people significant problems. Difficulties that were previously manageable might become much more challenging to cope with. This can produce common signs and symptoms which have internal and external impact.

We would all like to manage and reduce stress in our lives. To do that, not only must we avoid what is unhealthy, but find a rhythm in God that redistributes those pressures. Most of us, keep busy to impress others, or have ways of living that though are enforced upon us we can still do something about. Others avoid life altogether, either way, we have a burden carrying God that wants us to cope with the demands and pressures of life.

This series acknowledges that we all at times struggle to cope and can feel overwhelmed by life. We aim for a biblical understanding and application to help us reduce stress and secondly, learning how to overcome it by lifting it to Jesus.

Transcript

  1. Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel,

    “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. Isaiah 40:27–31 (NLT)
  2. He gives power to the faint, and to him who

    has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:27–31 (NLT)
  3. From the end of the earth I call to you

    when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2 (ESV)
