New Free Bible Study Guide on Stress Posted

Aug. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Cincinnati, Ohio – Stress affects everyone at one time or another, and sometimes the stress we face feels unbearable. Medical professionals tell us stress is a killer. It is a risk factor for heart disease, strokes and many other diseases. The United Church of God’s new Bible Study Guide lesson on “Coping With Stress” provides helpful advice from the Bible for reducing stress in our lives.

“Coping With Stress” (http://www.freebiblestudyguides.org/bible-answers/coping-with-stress.htm) addresses issues such as:

•   Does God show us how to reduce stress?
•   How can I find comfort in dealing with the trouble and stress in my life?
•   What is the ultimate purpose of my stressful trials?
•   Can I have confidence that God understands my stress?

The lesson ends with 14 practical tips that students can choose from to apply in their own stressful situations, as well as links to helpful related resources.

The lesson was researched and written by Ron Kelley, a United Church of God pastor in North Carolina.

Mike Bennett, UCG editorial content manager, said, “We want these lessons to be relevant, engaging and life-changing, and we welcome suggestions for future lessons or for improving the lessons.”
