From the Bible

What does God have to say about stress?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

…the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6b
