The Stress Cure

By Linda Evans Shepherd
We live in a world filled to the brim with advice, and when it comes to dealing with stress, there’s plenty of advice to go around. Sleep more, eat better, avoid this, seek out that. But more ideas about how to cope are not necessarily what we need if we’re stressed and anxious.
What we need is a cure.
The true remedy to stress, Linda Evans Shepherd says, is prayer. In this inspiring book, she shows you how to recognize God’s continual presence in your life and yield your troubles to the Prince of Peace. Through captivating stories, explorations of fascinating biblical characters, and examples of deeper-than-ever prayers, she brings within your grasp the peace that passes understanding. If you are overwhelmed by all of the urgent demands on your time, this book offers you a lifeline to true peace.

Day by day, as you read this book, you can feel the stress leaving and peace descending.
Stress can cause or worsen physical health problems, and affect emotional health and relationships. Our spiritual well being is threatened, as well. This book guides you as you learn to trust God to help control reactions to situations that previously caused us stress.
This is a book that should be read day by day so that one has time to absorb and process the meat therein. It is not one to be :raced through” if one wants to find the peace in yielding and trusting our heavenly Father. After all, we wouldn’t want to get stressed out while learning to change our reaction to ‘so called’ stressful situations.
Thank you, Linda Evans Shepherd, for reminding me to trust and lean on my Lord more fully.
