"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm." ~ Peace Quotes
Stress is a major problem in our world today. We all can stay pretty calm and peaceful when everything is going our way. However, when a storm is brewing we can get pretty upset. Maybe not you, but I do at times.
I thought it was really interesting how Jesus handled stress. "He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word."(see Isaiah 53:7) When He was in the garden Jesus said to the disciples, "I will not say much more to you...(see John 14:30.)
It is very hard to keep quiet when we are under stress, but according to these verses one way to do it is to shut up!
We live in a stressful world. A lot may be going on around us, but it doesn't need to get inside of us. We will have storms in life, but we can also have serenity and peace amid the storms.
