Hope for the Stressed

Stress can take us down one of two paths. For many, stress leads to unrest. Frustrations at work, responsibilities at home, deadlines at school, unfinished to-do lists, heartbreaking headlines, and troubled relationships all pile up to an overwhelming sense of weariness, exhaustion, pressure, and unrest. And the enemy wants to use the unrest to arrest you – to hold you captive to the pressures and stresses of life.

But God’s plan – His path for stress – leads not to painful unrest but rather peaceful rest. The enemy wants to overwhelm you with unrest, but the Lord wants you to overcome with His rest.

We hope you’re encouraged by these truths from God’s Word. This article is a sample from our Keys for Living book on Stress.

We pray the Lord will help you find peace and rest as you look to Him.

“Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.”
(Matthew 11:29 NLT)

Hope for the Stressed

12 Promises of Peace

God is with you in times of stress.

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:10)

God sees and knows your stress.

“But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand.”
(Psalm 10:14)

God wants to give you peace when your heart is troubled, stressed, and afraid.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
(John 14:27)

God wants to carry your burden and give you rest.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
(Matthew 11:28)

God wants to guide you when you’re too stressed to make decisions.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
(Psalm 32:8)

God wants to strengthen you when you’re weak and weary.

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”
(Isaiah 40:29)

God wants to deliver you from your stress.

“They cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.”
(Psalm 107:6)

God wants to comfort you in times of stress.

“I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.”
(Isaiah 51:12)

God wants to use your stress to increase your dependence on Him.

“We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself … But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”
(2 Corinthians 1:8–9)

God wants you to talk to Him about your stress and set you free.

“In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free.”
(Psalm 118:5 NLT)

God wants you to trust Him and be a refuge for you in times of stress.

“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
(Psalm 62:8)

God wants you to worship Him even in times of stress.

“I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”
(Genesis 35:3 NLT)
