"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

5.) GOD turns your Stress into PEACE

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

God uses stress to get our attention.
God uses stress to help us redefine or rediscover our priorities, God uses stress to draw us to himself. God uses stress to descipline us, and God uses stress to strengthen our faith.
