Freedom
People cannot seem to get a peace of mind. They lay down and get up thinking about a stressful job that they have to go to. People do not totally enjoy their weekends trying to catch up on all of the work they need to do at home. They are too tired to enjoy their families. Some people work 24 hours and 7 days a week. Their bodies get no rest. The money that they make is hardly enough. They have no home life. They seem to only have a work life. People do not seem to have freedom anymore. They seem to be slaving for a dollar bill.
Tired Mind and Tired Eyes
A tired mind could cause forgetfulness. There are so many thoughts that can crowd the mind. I believe that stress can cause Alzheimer's. When the mind is tired, it can affect your body too. Feeling tired at all will make you just want to lay down and do nothing but sleep. Your eyes can become tired from needing rest and sinus pressure and allergies can make them extra tired. You may feel like everything in the world is wrong with you because of stress. You may be lucky if your doctor finds that there is nothing wrong. He may tell you that your only problem is stress and that you may need to change jobs.
No Excitement in Life
When all that you do is work and go home, there is no excitement in your life. When you are happy, things that bothered you may not seem to bother you as much. If you win a million dollars right now, I'm pretty sure you would forget your troubles at that particular moment. Right before that moment you could have a sick feeling, but winning a million dollars would make you forget all about that sick feeling.
Worry and Fear
Worry and fear could cause panic attacks. There are so many things in life that can cause worry, fear, and depression. Some people spend most of their time feeling, seeing, and hearing negative things. Then they spend most of their time at the hospital and carrying around loads of medication. There is nothing but trouble on top of trouble. If you are a happy person, stress, worry, fear, and depression can make you a totally different person. Those things can cause many things to go wrong in our lives.
Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 6:25-34 - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Philippians 4:6-7 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
We should pray and not worry. We should trust in God.
