PerDev Lesson 4 - Coping With Stress

(+) Dear Almighty Father,

Opening Prayer
We come before you today with heavy hearts and burdened spirits, seeking your guidance and comfort as we delve
into the topic of stress. In the midst of life's challenges and pressures, we turn to you, the source of our strength and
peace.
Lord, we acknowledge that stress is a part of our human experience, but we also recognize that you are the ultimate
source of relief and solace. We ask for your presence to be with us as we explore this topic, that your wisdom may
shine a light on the ways in which we can manage and overcome stress in our lives.
Grant us the understanding to identify the causes of stress in our daily existence and the discernment to choose
healthy coping mechanisms. Help us to remember that we are not alone in our struggles, for you are always by our
side, ready to provide comfort and guidance.
As we discuss and reflect upon stress, may this time be an opportunity for growth, healing, and resilience. Fill our
hearts with hope, faith, and the knowledge that with you, we can find the strength to overcome even the most
daunting challenges.
We offer this prayer in gratitude for your unwavering love and presence in our lives. In your holy name, we pray.
