This past week David Kellermann, acting chief financial officer of mortgage giant Freddie Mac, was found dead, hung in his basement, an apparent suicide. Stress can kill you! And let’s be honest, we live in a stressful world. There are global concerns and personal problems that impact every one of us.
Some folks deal with trouble by worrying, but worrying does nothing to change the past or improve the future, it only harms the present. I have found the principles of Philippians 4 to be of much benefit in this regard. Maybe you will too.
Philippians 4:6 offers a great replacement principle to help us cope with the stress of our day: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” It is simply a choice we make to replace worry with prayer. Why not try it today.
