I was really grieved this morning to hear a program on Christian radio offer stress relief to their listeners, not through faith in God, but by taking supplements.
Seriously? That’s their big answer to life’s problems? Are pills the remedy that God has prescribed for stress or anxiety?
I have no doubt that they work, to some degree, but that’s really sad. Those people are either ignorant of what the Word has to say or they are simply opportunists clothing their petty sales tactics with Christian language in order to conform their pitch to the audience.
You could solve your stress issues in an instant, for free, if you’ll take God at his word. The Bible is full of scriptures that address stress and anxiety.
When we have a medical or law enforcement emergency, we dial 911 for help.
Well, when you’re stressed out, you could appeal to the highest place and go to God’s 911, found in Psalm 50:15 “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
Is there something in your life that is weighing you down, causing you grief, stressing you out, stealing your joy? Would you like to be free? Would you like your peace restored? Here’s a major stress-buster, found in Philippians 4:6
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Pretty simple, if we will obey it and believe it.
Believe God today, friends. We don’t need supplements or pills to deal with life. We need Him.
Real peace comes from a life that is yielded to God and takes Him at His word.
He’s only a whisper away today. Go to Him!
