Each of us needs a safe place where we can take our stress and troubles. I have also learned to help write my way through stress. If I have to catch up on my journaling, then I know that I have been neglecting myself. Every day without a journal entry is a day of lost perspective. If you are feeling stressed out, try writing and see where it takes you.
Stress is rampant in our society.
It can diminish us and drag us down. Whether your definition of religion comes from God or Human Experience, stress can ruin our lives. Let us join together, as a beloved community, to help one another through our times of stress. If you are here this morning in a time of anxiety, may you find calm. If you are here in a time of worry, may you let go of your burdens.
