When Stress is Overwhelming
Wes McAdams   -  

Stress is a universal experience, and family life can be one of its greatest sources. Bills pile up, schedules become impossible, relationships strain, and we find ourselves running on empty. Paul’s instruction to “not be anxious about anything” is not a command to pretend problems don’t exist, it’s an invitation to bring every problem to God in prayer. When we do, God promises something remarkable: a peace that “surpasses all understanding.” It doesn’t make sense given the circumstances. But it is real, and it is available to every one of us. (Philippians 4:4-9)
