The enemy wants you to believe that stress is a normal part of life, which is just something you have to endure. He does this because he wants you to try and cope with stress and weariness, rather than conquer them.
If you have not discovered the cure for stress, the most common reaction is often one of panic but God has something better for your life than always feeling stressed. God did not create you to go through life stressed and exhausted, never taking time to rest and be refreshed. He has a better plan, He created you to love your life every single day; He wants you to live each day full of peace, confidence and joy in Him.
Sure, there are going to be days, weeks, months and even years that seems busier or harder but it doesn’t matter how busy or challenging things get on the outside, you can be at rest on the inside. The events of life may make you weary but it is also your attitude toward those events that is making you weary.
When you trust God, you can stop stressing and start resting; you can change your attitude and you can change your outlook. When you trust in Him, the things that used to bother you now builds you faith, the people who used to drive you crazy now drive you to pray for them and the problems that used to scare you now strengthens you.
With God’s help and us trusting in Him, stress can be a thing in the past.
Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
