Healthy Tips for Stressful Times
List by Pastor Ken
When I am going through difficult times of uncertainty and worldwide chaos, Scripture not only gives me hope, it also suggests ways to maintain and improve my health.
Jesus tells me to spend time studying nature when I am riddled with anxiety
Matthew 6:28-29
Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
Like every living thing, God holds my life and health in His hands
Job 12:7-10
But ask the animals, now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you. Who doesn’t know that in all these, the LORD’s hand has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
I will praise God for His endless power and majesty; He gives me strength
1 Chronicles 29:11-13
Yours, LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all! Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.
God's will is that I will always be able to find something for which to thank Him
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
Thanksgiving and earnest prayer will keep my thoughts on Jesus and help keep my anxiety at bay
Philippians 4:6-7
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Memorizing and meditating on Bible verses is as important to my life and health as food is
Matthew 4:4
But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
