Dealing with our stresses and fears can be very difficult. As a result, relying on God can be very effective in managing your stresses. With this in mind, here are some suggestions on how a person should rely on God in his or her own struggles.

God is stronger than your fears and anxieties. A person does not have to be religious to use the power of God. When the going gets tough, talk to God about your problems as if you were talking to a friend. Be persistent and be open in the avenues that God may provide to you in solving your problem. It is not always easy, however God is in control and he will help you if you ask him.

In addition, manage your fears and anxieties one step at a time. Some people make the mistake of trying to get rid of all of their fears at the same time. When they do this, they are unsuccessful and the fears and anxieties continue bothering the person.

Try to find out what is causing all of your anxiety. If you have trouble, then use the services of a professional to find out what is the source of your fears.

Once you know the source of your anxieties, then try to break the source of your fear into a series of smaller steps. Completing these smaller tasks one at a time will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.

For instance, let's say that you have a fear of speaking in front of a large group of people. In order to get rid of this fear, get into the habit of speaking in front of 10 people. Once you feel comfortable, then try speaking in front of 20 people, then 30 people, and so forth. As you feel comfortable doing this, gradually increase the number of people you speak to. Breaking the overall goal into a series of steps will make it easier to get over your fear of speaking in front of a large group of people.

In addition, learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week or coming month, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. Focus on the present and stop trying to predict what may happen next week. Next week will take care of itself.

As a Layman, I realize that our anxieties and stresses can sometimes get the best of us, however remember to tackle each fear one step a time. It might take some hard work and persistence, but eventually you will be successful in conquering your fears.

Christian Consciousness Found in Genesis May be Key to Saving on Artificial Gasoline and Using Water Instead
By: Michael Shuster | 14/10/2008
In the very first opening of Genesis where God is described as creating the heavens and the earth, the animals, and the stars, the oceans, and the sky, everything was established for generations to come as having a natural and organic source and solution. Perhaps if all were to use what was available for us instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel with processed foods, chemicals, etc, we wouldn’t be in the jam we are in today with rising fuel costs.
