anything other than two dolphins, take a few days off and unwind......... If you see a cow rather than a dolphin, |
OK, this is a joke. But if
you went to this webpage, there is a chance you went to it because you are
dealing with stress. Or maybe someone sent you to this website because they
know you are stressed out.
We are normally stressed out
because of worry, fear, or trials in our life. We have listed below some Bible promises
covering these topics. We believe they will encourage you. All passages are
from the Living Bible translation unless otherwise stated.
WORRY
�Don't worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank
him for his answers. �If you do this, you
will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind
can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at
rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.�
Philip. 4:6-7
�Since
the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens
along the way? �
Proverbs 20:24
"So don't be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.�
Matthew 6:34
SEVEN REASONS NOT TO WORRY Matt. 6:25������� The same God who created life in you
can be trusted with the details of your life. Matt. 6:26������� Worrying about the future hampers your
efforts for today. Matt. 6:27������� Worrying is more harmful than helpful. Matt. 6:28-30�� God does not ignore those who depend on him. Matt. 6:31-32�� Worry shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God. Matt. 6:33������� There are real challenges God wants us to pursue, and
worrying keeps us from them. Matt 6:34�������� Living one day
at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry. FEAR �But I stand silently before
the Lord, waiting for him to rescue me. For salvation comes from him alone. �Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense,
and fortress--why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come?� �Fear of man is a dangerous
trap, but to trust in God means safety.� �Then turning to his
disciples he said, "Don't worry about whether you
have enough food to eat or clothes to wear. �For life consists of far more than food and
clothes. �Look at the ravens--they don't
plant or harvest or have barns to store away their food, and yet they get along
all right--for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any
birds!" "But when
they deliver you up, do not become anxious about how or what you will speak;
for it shall be given you in that hour what you are to speak. �"For it is not you who speak, but it is
the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.� ��The Lord is my light and my salvation; he
protects me from danger--whom shall I fear?� TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS �These trials are only to
test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being
tested as fire tests gold and purifies it--and your faith is far more precious
to God than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the
test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on
the day of his return.� �Beloved, do not be
surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing,
as though some strange thing were happening to you;� ��casting all your
anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you.� �And we know that God causes all things to work
together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to
His purpose.� MANY OF THE PROMISES IN THE BIBLE ARE FOR THOSE WHO
KNOW JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR. IF YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN, HOW
ABOUT CONSIDERING THE CLAIMS OF JESUS CHRIST.� YOU CAN LEARN

Psalm 62:5-6
Proverbs 29:25
"And besides, what's the use of worrying? What good does it do? Will it add a single day to
your life? Of course not! �And if worry
can't even do such little things as that, what's the use of worrying over
bigger things?
Look at the lilies! They don't toil and spin, and yet Solomon in all his glory was not robed as well as they are." �"And if God provides clothing for the flowers
that are here today and gone tomorrow, don't you suppose that he will provide
clothing for you, you doubters? And don't worry about food--what to eat and
drink; don't worry at all that God will provide it for you. �All mankind scratches for its daily bread, but
your heavenly Father knows your needs. �He will always give you all you need from day
to day if you will make the Kingdom of God your primary concern."
So don't be
afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the
Kingdom. Sell what you have and give to those in need. This will fatten your
purses in heaven! And the purses of heaven have no rips or holes in them. Your
treasures there will never disappear; no thief can steal them; no moth can
destroy them. Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will
also be."
