Stress Is a Nine-Letter Word!
A Hurting Word...
If you keep a "running record" of these devotionals, you know PegLeg was "dancin'" last week--well, she's runnin' this week: she runs the family laundry, cleaning, restaurant, and arbitration services--and don't forget the teen taxi service, the worldwide web page--and she's runnin' around the writer's block right now! And you? You run, too, I know--we all do--even the world is spinning, running around in circles!It's called "stress," and if you are counting letters, there's NINE--yes, I can count--just keep reading!! For there *has* to be a correct answer somewhere--let's go to the Well and see if the Lord has help us figure it all out! What will HE tell us to do?
A Helping Word...or Two!
It will CHALLENGE you to acknowledge your helplessness, and rely completely on the Lord!
"Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of thy wings (Psalm 61:1-4 KJV)."
It will CHALLENGE you to withstand the enemy in HIS battledress, not yours!
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil...Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:10,11,13 (KJV)."

Stress IS a nine-letter word, and the word is CHALLENGE! See it not as a problem you *can't* handle; see it as a challenge you and your Lord *will* handle. Now if I can stop running long enough to catch my breath, that's exactly what I'm going to do--how about you?

"Lord, I run, run, run--and I am all out of strength, patience, words--and breath! Help me to see challenges--not problems. Help me run to You, acknowledging my need, appropriating your armor, and abiding in Your love. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
