Therefore, my fellow believers, whom I love and long for, my delight and crown [my wreath of victory], in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. 

I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree and to work in harmony in the Lord. 

Indeed, I ask you too, my true companion, to help these women [to keep on cooperating], for they have shared my struggle in the [cause of the] gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life. 

Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! 

Let your gentle spirit [your graciousness, unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord is near. 

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 

And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. 

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. 

The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you. (Philippians 4:1-9 AMP)

In fact, it is possible to work and pursue your goals without stress. You don’t need to die simply because you have a goal or dream. You can rest in God while He works for you.

Living can be and must be without stress. You will attain unto your goals. I rebuke anything thing that represent stress in your life. Receive the peace and joy of God as you run your race! May greater grace be made available to you!

Your life will be stress-free and filled with many good things if you;

#1. Strengthen yourself in the Lord:

Life is always tough on those who try to do it on their own. Therefore, be strong in the Lord.  If you chicken out, life will drill you.

#2. Agree and work in harmony with the team:

It takes teamwork to make a team work. Two are better than one, they have a better reward for their labour. Working in harmony with others reduces stress.

#3. Help others to achieve their dreams:

Surely the people you add value to makes you valuable. The greatest source of peace is selflessness. You will find greater joy and peace as you help others to fulfill their dreams.

He that is faithful in that which is another man’s business shall be trusted with his own.

#4. Rejoice always in the Lord:

If the source of your joy is anything other than the Lord, you will soon dry up. This is because nothing is permanent, only God is permanent.

Make nothing else your hope and joy. Men and women are not stable, they come and go as and when they have need of you. Wealth may develop wings and fly away. Health may fail but God remains the same and ever faithful.

#5. Be moderate and gentle:

Have faith, but do not expand you taste, be moderate in all things but hope for the best. To live a stress-free life, keep life simple.

#6. Let nothing trouble you, Pray!

No one changes anything by worrying. Your anxiety will change nothing, but your prayer can change everything. Just learn to pray and allow God handle the complex issues of life.

#7. Take hold of your thoughts:

If you don’t restrain your thoughts, they will run wild and take you on a flight to places you don’t want to go. So take hold of your thoughts, think about things that accord with godliness.

#8. Follow forerunners:

There are people who have successfully circumvented the complex paths of life, follow them such people!

I love you and pray that your life will be without stress this season. Amen!
