Rely On God To Manage Your Stresses And Fears
Dealing with our stresses and fears can be very difficult. As a
result, relying on God can be very effective in managing your
stresses. With this in mind, here are some suggestions on how a
person should rely on God in his or her own struggles.
God is stronger than your fears and anxieties. A person does not
have to be religious to use the power of God. When the going
gets tough, talk to God about your problems as if you were
talking to a friend. Be persistent and be open in the avenues
that God may provide to you in solving your problem. It is not
always easy, however God is in control and he will help you if
you ask him.
In addition, manage your fears and anxieties one step at a time.
Some people make the mistake of trying to get rid of all of
their fears at the same time. When they do this, they are
unsuccessful and the fears and anxieties continue bothering the
person.
Try to find out what is causing all of your anxiety. If you have
trouble, then use the services of a professional to find out
what is the source of your fears.
Once you know the source of your anxieties, then try to break
the source of your fear into a series of smaller steps.
Completing these smaller tasks one at a time will make the
stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.
For instance, let's say that you have a fear of speaking in
front of a large group of people. In order to get rid of this
fear, get into the habit of speaking in front of 10 people. Once
you feel comfortable, then try speaking in front of 20 people,
then 30 people, and so forth. As you feel comfortable doing
this, gradually increase the number of people you speak to.
Breaking the overall goal into a series of steps will make it
easier to get over your fear of speaking in front of a large
group of people.
In addition, learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of
worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week or
coming month, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us
with different opportunities to learn new things and that
includes learning how to deal with your problems. Focus on the
present and stop trying to predict what may happen next week.
Next week will take care of itself.
As a Layman, I realize that our anxieties and stresses can
sometimes get the best of us, however remember to tackle each
fear one step a time. It might take some hard work and
persistence, but eventually you will be successful in conquering
your fears.
