Jesus said, “…Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29

According to the American Psychological Association, stress is directly linked to six of the leading causes of death. I’m not sure that’s really news to anyone. Intuitively we all know that stress is hard on our bodies and our minds.

We All Long For Peace

This is where Jesus enters the picture and says “learn from me”. He alone provides the perfect prescription for stress. Jesus said in Matthew 6, “Do not worry about your life…if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” The point being, we stress about far too much in life when the answer to our needs starts and ends with our prayer time spent with Jesus.
