Ask the Christian Counselor - I'm Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace
ISBN: 9781645074540Counselor Eliza Huie unpacks three common causes of stress-fear, control, and temptation-and gives direction on specific ways to respond to and manage the pressure and anxiety associated with stress.
The pressures and demands of life can leave us overwhelmed, discouraged, or burned out. Stress affects all of life, including physical, relational, and spiritual health. But God does not want us to white-knuckle our way through life-he intends for us to thrive as his beloved children, remembering his care and walking in his strength.
Eliza offers readers the NEAR (notice, explore, address, remember) plan for stress management and a way forward to move from stress to hope. In I'm Stressed, she gives biblical and actionable direction on how to alleviate stress in ways that honor God, bless those around us, and help us to live in peace.
