Usually when we have an interview with a guest on our show, we ask them “How are you doing?” But today, we want to ask that question of you, our listeners. “How are you doing?” You can answer that in your mind or even out loud if you want. When someone asks that question of us, we may respond with “Fine”, or “Good”, or I have a friend who usually answers “I’m pretty OK”. But those answers can all give an indication that everything is going smooth and there are no troubles going on in life. Yet deep down there are struggles. You may be in a situation at work, or home, or at school where you do not see any way out of the darkness. You may be feeling pretty scared, lonely, or even despairing about a situation in life. You may even be having suicidal thoughts because you feel that is your only “OUT”. But stay with us, because today we will not only talk about signs and symptoms of stress factors, but we will offer guidance from personal experiences as well as the most needed help from God’s Word, the Bible.
Today the three of us friends would like to talk about things related to stress, worry, fear, depression. And it is our prayerful desire that by the end of this episode you will allow the Prince of Peace to give you a peace that passes all understanding.
"Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." (1 Peter 5:5-7)
