One Great Tip for Avoiding Holiday Season Stress

-


By J.E. Nickerson

The holidays can be a stressful time for people. Finding the right gifts, getting them delivered on time, planning and affording holiday meals and family drama, can make this time of year very difficult for many people. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 


Peace and good will towards men, are gifts God wants you to unwrap this year. God’s son, Jesus Christ, came to earth during a very stressful time. The oppressive Roman Empire was in charge of the Jews. Roman soldiers abused the people they were over and used their military power to coerce the people they ruled over. 


When the angels announced the birth of Jesus, they said do not be afraid. Some bible translations say "do not let your heart be troubled". Jesus’ birth, meant that God was giving us a way to experience true peace in the midst of stressful situations. It is a peace that the government can not take away. It is a peace that situations and people around us, cannot take away. 


This peace is experienced when we put our faith in Jesus. He was not just the baby in the manger. He is also the Prince of peace. Open your life up to Jesus and let his peace cover you and comfort your heart and mind.

He called it our daily bread. These were the mundane or ordinary things that everyone needs in order to fulfill their responsibilities. But prayer and reliance on God does not stop there. God wants us to bring him our hopes and the things we want that are out of the ordinary. Our deepest hopes and dreams, the things we want for our future even when we cannot see a way to obtain them.  God wants to be involved in every facet and area of our life. This is what Paul meant when he talked about leaning our entire personality on God in trust and faith. It’s the only way that we can truly experience peace and comfort in our life.  Whatever you are hoping for in life, I challenge you to give it to God and trust him with the outcome. Let him lead you and show you how to obtain whatever you are hoping f
