Pray. Get as far away from the source of your stress as possible. Daily prayer. Prayers of Bible Women and What They Prayed For
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. As we make our requests known to God through continual prayer, we experience the peace of God. God will guard your thoughts in Christ as you turn your worries over to him. Stormie Omartian -- God wants us to want Him.. And when we realize that it's Him that we want, we become free. We are free to identify the longings, loneliness, and emptiness inside of us as our signal that we need to draw near to God with open arms and ask Him to fill us with more of Him. We must continually seek after, pray for, nurture, and treasure it! Get as far away from the source of your stress as possible. Prayer nurtures your relationship with God. You slow down to meet him, rest, talk, and walk with him. Daily Prayer. I like praying at night while in the bed!
