Stress is our body’s way of responding to threats, real or perceived.
Yes, the threat doesn’t even have to be real! Worse, long-term worry and anxiety about those threats (real or perceived) is destructive to us physically as well as spiritually.
Think for a moment: What does worry or anxiety actually accomplish? Does it help? Or does it hurt? Perhaps that’s why Jesus asked, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
In this lesson, Mike shares Scripture about dealing with this ever-present problem.
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
