One Simple Step to Destroy Stress

This week in two situations, I was stuck. I had called, emailed multiple times, tried to connect with mutual friends for wisdom on how to proceed, and strategized with my wife on what do next.  All of that, and I still hadn’t heard back.  So frustrating.  More frustrating than not hearing back was that I didn’t know what to do next; I needed answers from people in industries that I did not truly understand and with whom I did not have a true relationship or friendship.

As I laid my head down to go to sleep , after Kari and I had spent five minutes talking about what I should do next, I found the secret.

Prayer.

Before I fell asleep, I began to pray, “God you know these people, you know the situations, you know I need to hear back from them. Would you please work in the ways only you can.  You can do more in 5 minutes that I can do in 5 years with all my tasks.  Please Lord work in this situation.”

The next day both people emailed me back.

God is still alive and on his throne. I’m learning to quit stressing and just pray!
