In what ways does stress pull us away from God? When I'm stressed, I'm in my flesh. I'm self centered. Even if I think I'm feeling anxious or worried about someone else's problems, It really comes down to how I fell about it and how does it affect me. This is the process of pulling away from God. I can avoid this ungodliness by focusing on the attributes of God,. In what ways does stress draw us closer to God? Nothing I can do, and nothing anyone else can do for me can relieve my stressful reactions. I understand that God is the only way, and this brings me closer to Him. Have you given your stress points to God fully? This is a goal for me. I'm not fully there yet, but I've learned to identify my stress points most of the time, and most of the time, I can turn them over. I'm still a work in progress. What are you asking him to do about your stresses? Once identified, I pray to give Him thanks for all of His blessings in my life, and ask that He help me to remain focused on the amazing gift of Jesus in my life.
