Are you stressed out? A study by the American Psychological Association found that 48% of Americans report regularly lying awake at night because of stress. It also showed that we’re more stressed now than we were five years ago.

What are we worrying about? 75% say primarily two things: money and work.

So where should you turn when you’re under stress?   Psalm 119:143-144 reminds us – “As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.  Your decrees are always fair; help me to understand them, that I may live.” (NLT)

God says to turn to him as you face the difficulties of life. God holds the solution to the stresses you face. You need to be sure that you’re right with God.  Change the priorities of your life. Ask God to help you understand and follow His commands.

That’s the only sure way to get out of the stress mess.
