Start with Gratitude: How Do Christians Deal With Stress?

1. Recognize the Problem.

If you know something is seriously wrong, the fastest way to the solution is to admit you have a problem. Sometimes it’s not easy to admit you’re barely hanging on by a thread and can’t seem to manage your own life.

Recognizing the problem requires honest self-evaluation and humble confession. Psalm 32:2 says, “Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!” (NLT)

Once we can deal honestly with our problem, we can begin to get help.
