Stress:

 Today people seen to be stressed out from numerous sources.  Stuck in heavy traffic, the cost of rent, gas, rude people, inflation, war and threats of war, the list goes on and on. I see people racing through life and seeking peace and happiness. Doctors tell people they need less stress in their life and prescribe Rx to help them achieve it. It seems everyone has stress of one kind or another. Maybe an answer is not the stress but how it is handled. 

Did you know that a piano mother board has 40,000 pounds of stress on it from the tension of all the strings? Yet out of all this stress comes some of the most beautiful music known to mankind. Maybe relieving the stress isn't as important as how we manage the stress. Finding a quiet place where you can go and have a talk with God is a way to transfer the stress you experience to Him providing that you leave it with Him and don't carry it away yourself.

Maybe then you can be at a place where you can help others who are also stressed out. In my many years I have never turned a stressful situation over to God that he couldn't handle. As I look back on those stressful times, I'm still amazed at not only the solution but the outcome. Things I found impossible were not impossible for God.

Talk to God about your situation, tie a knot in the end of your rope and hang on.
