Many of us know that life can be stressful if we let it. Through self-care you may alleviate some of your stress. Taking a walk, a hobby, talking with a friend are a few ways to destress.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:2 (NIV)
Too often when adversity strikes, we tend to feel uncertain, hopeless, and powerless. When we discover the power of letting go and letting God into every aspect of our lives, blessings begin to follow.
Alleviate some of your stress
When we step back for a minute, we may gain a new perspective. For myself, prayer helps me regain my focus on what truly matters most in my life at the moment.
See what works for you.

Pray with me: Father in Heaven, help me to focus more on you and not my circumstances. Most days are so difficult to get through with all the stress from the world around me. I pray for your blessings to bring me more joy and more peace. I know uncertainties of life can be cruel, but with your loving kindness and grace I can find hope and the strength to face my battles with you Lord. I let go of my will for yours and look forward to the path you have planed for me, in Jesus name, Amen…
