It's Just a LotSample

Who is the first person you call when you find yourself in a stressful situation? Who do you turn to when life feels like a lot? Maybe for you, it’s a best friend, a parent, or even your small group leader. Those are all great options! In those moments, we can go to God, too. It can be easy to feel like God’s too busy, that your concern isn’t big enough for God, or that God may not even be there to help. But as the Psalms tell us, those moments—the times when we feel most stressed or afraid—are the moments God wants to hear from us. That’s when we can put our trust in God to help us manage our stress.

As you find yourself faced with anxiety, worry, or stress this week, try praying first. You can still turn to others for help, but try putting your trust in God as the first step you take.
