In this crazy world we live in, things can get very stressful.  Here are three stress-relievers to live by:

1. Let go of what no longer works.  Paul says, "Let us strip away every weight that...hinders our progress"  (Heb.12:1 NLT)  What is hindering you from progress? Get rid of it.
2. Don't let change paralyze you.  In new situations we tend to slow down, play it safe.  But that is not a good thing.  Being overly cautious makes you freeze.  Trust God and move forward.
3. Approach the future with confidence.  As we begin this New Year, approach it with excitement, anticipation, and with great confidence that God is going to do great things in you and for you.  No Fear!  The only way to prepare for tomorrow is by adjusting and living fully today.

"God gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless."  (Isaiah 40:29 NRS)  So trust Him and move forward!
