Want to put stress into perspective? Then Guideline #1: Get God's perspective.
Guideline #2: Let your relationship with Him be an anchor or a gyroscope which holds the ship of your life steady. Hebrews 6:9 speaks of faith as an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast. A boat without an anchor drifts with the winds and tide, and so do individuals who don't have anything lasting to hold them steady in the face of stress.
