HEALTHY MIND
Trusting to Relax
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. (Jeremiah 17:7)
If you want to reduce the stress levels in your life, you have to trust Jesus all the time if you want to be at peace all the time. Decide here and now that you are going to trust Him completely so that you are always on an even keel and not happy and hopeful one day and then hapless and hopeless the next. Do not let past painful experiences make you transfer your mistrust of humans to God. Do not trust Him half-heartedly because of the heartache you may have experienced after you trusted people who turned out to be deceitful for God is not a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19) Even if you have never been let down by people know that It is better to trust in the Lord than to put your confidence in man (Psalm 118:8) because no matter how stressful the situation may get, He promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) Decide to trust in the Lord since trusting God is the antidote for worrying. Therefore, learn to focus your mind on the Lord whom you are trusting to help you solve your problems rather than focus it on your problems. Focus on God and you will be able to relax since His Word says, You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3)
God is not a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19)
