Mental Stress
- Causes the mind to be heaped. When this happens, our mind cannot deliver properly.
- Causes of many nervous breakdowns
Look At This: THE STRESS EQUATION
Life's pressures and burdens

EQUALS
TENSION
What happens when we are tensioned?
- We become nervous, anxious, and worried
- We become discouraged
TENSION Happens because...
- We rely on our own strength, rather than upon God and His Word.
- We forget that God can handle any problem.
- We think that we can do a better job handling the situation ourselves.
If You are TENSIONED...DIAL-A-BOOK!
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
- Read the Bible.
- The more we meditate on God's Word, the less we need to worry.
- When you think about a problem over and over...that's called worry
- When you think about God's Word over and over...that's called meditation
You know how to worry...so you obviously know how to meditate! Just focus on God's Word instead of the problem...
