Combating the Stress of Life-August Scripture Writing Plan

Stress…we all deal with it at some point in our lives. Some seasons of life seem to be more carefree while others can deal us blow after blow with stressful situations.

The month of August has been somewhat stressful for me for the last 13+ years. It’s the month my kids start back to school. Finding appropriate school clothes and supplies along with getting last things done for the summer usually make for a stressful and hectic August for our family. This year, August is even more stressful due to the fact I’m taking my oldest to college for the first time.

We’ve bought lots of things for his dorm room, but we are not done. And there are so many new things to learn with a kid in college. I feel like I’m missing out on something important. This brings about anxiety and fear which also adds to my stress.

You may not be dealing with getting kids to school, but I’m sure you have some kind of stress you are or have been dealing with. That’s why I think writing out verses related to anxiety and fear can help us deal with the stress of life.

I hope you are encouraged by these verses. And most importantly, I hope these verses point you to the true stress reliever…Jesus.
