Stress Relief God’s Way
Philippians 4:1-7

Note Worthy:
1. We are talking about a lifestyle. Not a, I tried it and it didn’t work.

2. These are God’s instructions.

3. Success over stress, will only be accomplished through faith in God’s word.
(AND) the (PEACE) of God, which surpasses every thought, will (GUARD) your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Guard…speaks of a military action.
Notice the word, (PEACE) now we are starting to see how all this comes together.
I. Don’t Allow Worry to Rule Over You.
1. Worry is Unreasonable.
A. Worry Will Cause You to Exaggerate the Problem.
B. Worry Doesn’t Work.
2. Worry is Unnatural.
Humans are the only thing that God created that doesn’t trust Him.
3. Worry is Unhealthy.
Proverbs 12:25
“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
but a good word cheers it up.”
4. Worry is Unnecessary.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you.
