Causes of Stress

Everyone has times of stress. I have had many physical illnesses. We need to always remember that it will not last forever. Stressful times come and go. Some sure seem to last forever!!  There is a time when moving forward can be hard but it is important for change and renewal.  God will bring people in our lives to motivate us.  Philippians 3:13-14 One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those thing which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Some things we can control and some we can't.
