Stress

Each day, I ask myself, “Why is everyone in such a hurry?” People are so stressed and in a rush that it is obvious our society has forgotten about the truly important things. This devotional is designed to help us refocus and invite Christ back into the center of our lives. When we focus on Him, everything else becomes secondary and a lot less stressful.

What's the Hurry?

One thing is inevitable—life will bring us hurt, pain and suffering. When it does, we often try to carry that pain all by ourselves. But that only brings deeper hurt and deeper pain. Our emotional pain can feel like it is too great to carry. In these devotions, bestselling author Tony Evans shares the secret of how we can deal with our “garbage” by giving it over to God.

Dumping the Garbage in Your Life

We often find ourselves attempting to balance all of things in our lives and it's like we are spinning plates in the air full of all our responsibilities. God has a purpose for all of us. The perfect life we so desperately seek isn’t found in keeping all of the plates spinning, but it is in a relationship with a person, Jesus. He is calling us out of the chaos!

Called Out of Chaos

Some days it seems as if a spirit of anger is permeating the entire world. Stories of violence, rage, and discord fill the airwaves while families are being torn apart by unresolved conflict. Where can you turn to find peace in this angry world? Join Dr. Charles Stanley as he helps you define this universal, persistent, and pervasive emotion in Part 1 of his series on Anger. 

Anger: The Good, The Bad, The Destructive

Though we live in a fast-paced, success-driven culture, we recognize the detrimental effects of burnout caused by the constant need to be productive. God sets the primary example of resting from work at the beginning of Genesis and then provides the Sabbath for his people. We seek rest in order to maintain a healthy relationship with our own self, with others, and with our work.
