Life In My 40's for KU Ladies... How To Overcome Stressful Situations God's Way (DecemberEdition)/ Rashea@LLO2 Academy

How in the world do you do it? How do you overcome stress and stressful situations God's way?

In my 40's, I continue to press into the strength of God to carry me through. While in those moments of my day and in my life, I don't always have the strength or the capacity to deal with the world around me. In those moments I just want to shut off the world and rest from the chaos of the world, a world that seems to never sleep. It's in those moments, I find myself still in the presence of God. Through prayer and meditation, I allow God's synergy to sweep over those fragile moments of my existence.

It takes God to be still. It takes God to listen with poise and understanding. At 43, it takes maturity to be the mature one and to hold your course in the midst of chaos and challenges around you.

Stress will stress you out, if you allow it to. It will age you prematurely, if you don't learn to laugh and be at peace. Stress is not healthy, although we all face it from time to time.

God can reverse the affects of stress, but you have to release your burdens to Him. Release the stress, the exhaustion, the weariness, your worries, your frustrations and the things you want to change but can't change in your own strength alone.

Stress is not your friend. In your 40's, embrace peace. Be at ease, and find time and space just to breathe and be calm and centered. Release the stress and breathe.
