 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: Matthew 6:34 - So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Subject: How To Deal With Stress

• We all know about mental illness.
• God wants us to trust Him, 
• 2 Timothy 3:2 - For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful unholy.......
• We rely on Facebook, technology, etc. for news and life in general.
• Therefore whoever humbles themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.  Matthew 18-3-5
• How to deal with stress: Psalms 23 - The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow od death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
• We need to concentrate on Jesus.
• Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
• So get outside and smell the roses, take a ride and enjoy the world around you.
• We fight against unavoidable situations. 
• Fret not with evil doers for they will soon be cut down.  Psalm 37:1-11
• The Lord's ways are not our ways.  Isaiah 55:8-9
• We must do our best while God does the rest.
• Take stress off yourself by focusing on others. Help someone else.
• Be aware of God's presence at all times.
• Through faith, we know that God is near through Jesus.
• God is omnipresent. Everywhere at all times.
