1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you.
Stress is normal, and is needed in your life to motivate you toward further action in a given area. Problems develop when stress becomes excessive, or is allowed to become overwhelming, and out of control. Make your problems, stepping stones, instead of stumbling blocks.
The Lord created you to have a relationship with other people, but stress increases when there is conflict at the same time. Many Christians don’t realize that the name of Jesus will release bondages, if they will only depend upon His Word. There will be times when problems come because you are doing what’s right. It will seem that Satan is launching an all out attack against you, even though you are in the center of the will of the Lord. Go to Him in prayer and thanksgiving, and He will direct you.
