I don't think we will ever get rid of stress, controlling it is the difficult part. countless publications and courses are available. Prioritising, identifying stressors, making lists of life plans, talking to a friend or family,the Internal and External factors,the coping advice is endless.We are also told that stress is
a good thing, maximising our potential.
It's a well known fact that life has lots of opportunities to live a life free of some hassle. Opportunities which cover just one area of life.
We can decide what is important and what is not worth bothering about.
Just take complaining for instance. Life seldom goes the way we want it. So why make ourselves ill by cultivating stressful situations. Why not choose our complaining about situations and people wisely ? If not we will complain about everything and everybody.
Why not listen to some advice from God's Word. Take a quiet moment and think what The Psalmist says about meditation in Psalm 19v14:
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing in your sight, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer"
