Stress

[janbear]

I will commit my way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of my load on Him]; I will trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. -Psalm 37:5

[janbear]

It is vain for me to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil-for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep. Psalm 127:2

[janbear]

He gives power to faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]. Isaiah 40:29

[janbear]

I will stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about my life, what I shall eat or what I shall drink; or about my body, what I shall put on. Is not life greater [in quailty] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?...I will not worry and be anxious...but I will seek (aim at and strive after) first of all the kingdom of God and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given to me besides. -Matthew 6:25, 31,33

[janbear]

I will guard against the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things that creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, causing it to become fruitless. Mark 4:19

[janbear]

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither [wearily] toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these. -Luke 12:27

[janbear]

I will take heed and be on guard, lest my heart be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the buisiness of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon me suddenly like a trap or a noose. -Luke 21:34

It is God's desire that I be free from all anxiety and distressing care. -I Corinthians 7:32

[janbear]

I cannot do everything so I choose those things which are vital and excellent and of real value. I have wisdom and I am able to distinguish the highest and the best things for me to do. -Phillippians 1:10

I will not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make my wants known to God. Phillippians 4:6

[janbear]

I do my best to fill my mind and meditate on things that are true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. I put into practice what I've learned, what I've heard and seen and realized. As I do that, God who makes everything work together, will work me into his most excellent harmonies. -Philippians 4:8-9

I cast the whole of my care [all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for me affectionately and cares about me watchfully.
-I Peter 5:7
