I don't know about you, but I carry my stress in my shoulders. It seems like throughout the day, every meeting, to-do list, phone call, project and conflict that occurs pile up like bricks on my shoulders. At some point in the day, I finally realize that I'm holding my shoulders practically up to my ears from all the tension! I have to take that moment to stop and relax, releasing all the pent up stress and dropping my shoulders back to where they should be. The Bible tells us we don't need to be shouldering our burdens alone. Jesus is with us offering to carry all our stress, fears and worries if we would just give them up! Take time everyday to make yourself aware of the stresses you are carrying. What things can you lay at Jesus' feet today, and allow Him to bring you peace?
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
