From Stress to Peace of Mind
Isaiah 26:3-4
Philippians 4:6-9
Stress is not just about what’s happening around us – it’s about what’s happening within us
Good Stress
Bad Stress
Our thoughts have incredible power
Proverbs 23:7 – “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”
“No one is more influential in your life than you are. Because no one talks to you more than you do.”
– Dr. Paul David Tripp
Stress grows in the unguarded mind
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
Stress feeds on lies
We cannot have a peaceful mind with a toxic thought life
We have incredible power over our thoughts
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2
Peace comes through exchange
My peace I give you, not as the world gives. John 14:27
God’s peace will stand guard over your mind
He doesn’t want to fix it, manage it, handle it – He wants to exchange it
We won’t defeat stress by fighting it –we defeat it by exchanging it, and fixing our thoughts on His truth
