The Redeemer Poem

Come to me, and I will grant you rest,

For I see you are weary.

Come to me, and I will provide,

For I see you are are needy.

For I am the Redeemer, You are the Redeemed,

I am the Savior, You are the Freed.

Come to me, and I will restore you,

For I see you are drained.

Come to me, and I will comfort you,

For I see you are stressed.

For I am the Redeemer, You are the Redeemed,

I am the Savior, You are the Freed.

Come to me with burdens,

And I will lighten you,

Come to me with struggles,

and I will guide you:

For I am the Redeemer, You are the Redeemed,

I am the Savior, You are the Freed.

Stress

Stress. Sometimes it gets the better of us; there’s no doubt about it. But there is a way to get over stress, and it’s probably not as complicated as you think.

Sometimes I get stressed out, and don’t know how to calm down. It can be really hard. But I’ve found some ways to calm down and conquer my anxiety.

Going outside

Taking a walk in God’s beautiful and calming nature does wonders to clear your thoughts. Step back, take a deep breath, and go for a walk outdoors. If it’s cold out, simply put on a coat. The sound of birds chirping and the breeze blowing through the trees helps me to re-focus and find confidence.

Spending time with Pets

Cuddling with puppies or stroking cats can help you focus on something else till you calm down. In fact, studies show that petting animals reduces the stress hormone cortisol. If your pets are wound up, playing with them can help cheer you up, too! 😉

Reading your Bible

And most importantly, reading your Bible helps the most. Pray to God and ask for composure and surrender your temper to Him. Trust Him, He can help! He created you and knows exactly how you work: what excites you, what breaks your heart, and what irritates you most. Sing to God and praise Him! He loves being praised, and is worthy of it! ❤

Take a Vacation

If you are almost always busy, I know what you’re thinking: I don’t have time to take a vacation. Vacation doesn’t necessarily mean packing your bags and going to the Bahamas, although that sounds amazing. Sometimes a mental vacation just means reading a book, playing a card game, or just talking to a family member or friend. Sometimes just talking to a loved one helps get the burden off your back, and they might be able to help find out what makes you mad or stressed out. Maybe they can even help come up with more creative ways to adjust your focus!

Hopefully, next time you get stressed out, these tips will help you! 

“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

Shining Bright

He carried our cross

and died to save us

He loves us dearly, 

and triumphed thus.

the LORD is a lamp to our feet

and brightens our paths —

let us cheer up each other

and enjoy sweet laughs!

Let God’s love shine bright

inside of your heart:

help others be saved

for the time they depart.

O, the LORD is good

and mighty, too

He helps us through troubles

and His Word is true.

Let His love light the way

and direct your feet:

don’t be afraid,

for the LORD is sweet.
