iAsk: What can I do to reduce stress in my life?

iAsk: What can I do to reduce stress in my life?

Q: What can I do to reduce stress in my life?

A: Work pressures. Family commitments. Church outreaches. All these things are well and good. They may even be God-ordained, but if you find yourself feeling the effects of too many commitments, then it’s time to de-stress your life. Jesus said in John 10:10, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Don’t let stress keep you from having an abundant life. Implement these five steps and get your life moving in the right direction!        

Make Time for the Word
Sounds counterproductive, doesn’t it? You believe you don’t have enough time to accomplish everything on your to-do list, but in reality, the only way to truly de-stress your life is to get God’s perspective on it.

Just like gas in a car, the Word fuels your life. Without it, you’ll coast along for a while, but eventually, you’ll run out of gas. Life will begin to feel overwhelming. So spend time in the Word daily. Let it correct you as you meditate on it and act as though it is true—because it is!

Recognize the Work of the Enemy
There will always be unexpected developments in your day—a last-minute meeting at work, snacks that you promised (but forgot!) to bring to your grandson’s Little League game, a clothes dryer that suddenly quits. That’s life. But there are other times when the devil deliberately attacks you. As you spend time in the Word, you’ll be able to recognize those attacks for what they are. When he attacks, resist him and he will flee (James 4:7).

Protect Your Mind
There are stressors all around you. With all that busyness swirling around you, you must make the quality decision to protect your mind and heart (Proverbs 4:23). That means turning off the television, connecting with strong, godly friends and protecting your Bible study time.

De-stress Your Life by Caring for Your Physical Body
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). If you have let exercise slide because you are too busy to do it, then you open the door to attacks. Care for your body by meditating on healing scriptures, feeding it healthy food and exercising each day.

Cut the Extras
Most likely, if you are battling constant stress, there are too many things vying for your attention. You must determine which things in your life God has given you to do and which things you have added on your own. Press into God for help in determining what it is that He has directed you to do, then do those things first. Everything else is subject to being cut from your schedule.

Jesus died so that you could live an overcoming life. Commit to making time for the Word, recognizing the enemy’s attacks, protecting your mind, caring for your body and cutting the extra things that demand your attention. As you press into the Lord for what you should do each and every day, He will help you de-stress and enjoy your life!

iAsk: HOW DO I HANDLE A JEALOUS SPOUSE?

 iAsk: HOW DO I HANDLE A JEALOUSE SPOUSE?

A: Jealousy is a sense of uneasiness or anxiety stemming from fear of preference being given to another, or fear of loss of position or affection.

Actually, you can’t handle jealousy. You can, however, confirm your love by acts of attention and affection and by words of admiration and appreciation. But only God can resolve jealousy in a spouse.

You can participate with Him by consistently walking in love toward your spouse. Ask the Lord to help you walk in love according to 1 Corinthians 13:

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited—arrogant and inflated with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it—it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails... (verses 4-8).

Allowing the Spirit of Love to prevail in your own life and praying always for it to prevail for your spouse will open the door of his/her heart to resolve the the issue of jealousy.

Confess the qualities of love laid out in these scriptures over your spouse and thank God daily for revealing and manifesting true love in both your lives. You cannot change your spouse’s heart, but God certainly can!

What a tragedy for her family and friends all round. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them. Rest in peace E’Dena.

UPDATED 08.17.15 12:47 pm

The man who fatally stabbed E’Dena Hines, the step-granddaughter of actor Morgan Freeman, has been charged with murder.

According to Pix11, police revealed Hines’ boyfriend, 30-year-old Lamar Davenport, is currently under psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. He was brought in as an “emotionally disturbed person” early Sunday morning after he was seen stabbing Hines to death near her home in the Washington Heights area of New York. Hines was the granddaughter of Freeman’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw.

Some have called her death an apparent “exorcism.”

A witness who saw the stabbing from his window said he heard screams from the actress as Davenport said he needed to “get the demons out.”

Pix11 reports:

    “I heard two screeches and I looked out my window,” neighbor George Hudacko said. “I heard him mumbling ‘God’ and ‘Jesus,’ and his hand was moving up and down. So I ran to call police.”

Police arrived on scene, but it was too late — Hines died on the way to the hospital. Friends of Hines said they saw her and Davenport during dinner on Saturday evening and everything appeared to be normal. The 33-year-old had just wrapped up a film scheduled to be released next year. After studying acting at New York University, she headed to Memphis, Tennessee to teach acting to underprivileged youth.

Hines recently moved back to New York to perform at several theaters. She often blogged about her experiences.

Davenport now faces a second-degree murder charge for her death.
