Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
A heart at peace gives life to the body …
Stress produces all kinds of irregularities in the body. Stress can cause premature age, inflammation, gastric pains and even leads to abnormal growth in the body. Stress is under the curse and it is not from God.
The best way to get rid of stress is to be care or worry free. Always do a heart check. Is your heart troubled? Are you losing sleep over a matter? Are you overthinking or overworking your body over a project? All of these and more can constitute to an increasing stress level in the body.
Peace is from God, not stress. If it stresses you, if it saps life out of you, if takes away your peace, that’s not God. You’ve got to take charge of your heart and guard it with all diligence.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, and a heart without peace saps life out of the body. Don’t let any outside force take over your soul, you’re the one to be in charge.
Renew your mind in the word of God daily and take all other necessary actions; like exercising, eating the right meal, delegating or scheduling your work flow; and you will gradually remove stress from your life. Amen!
