Ways to Reduce Stress: 1. Pray

So true. Praying is so relaxing for me. It gives me that peaceful feeling that there is no reason for me to be stressed out because Someone out there is looking after me. I pray at any time of the day, I do not schedule it. Yes, I pray when I wake up in the morning and just before I go to sleep. But I also say my prayers at any time of the day. I thank the Lord for anything that I should be grateful for.

I thank Him now specifically for keeping my sister MAL safe on her way home from Dubai. For guiding her in finding a job that she's happy with and paying her well. For helping her find long time friends that she could be with when she's in Dubai. For keeping her healthy while she is away from us. When my family is happy, I am happy. So that's less stress in my life :). Thank you Lord :).

I also thank Him for my other sister MAC. She is graduating from College with good grades and good records. She has good plans for her future. And of course having her finish college is also a great accomplishment for Mom, who raised us single handedly over the years (but of course, thanks Dad for the good genes).

There are so many things to be thankful for. Each day, I always say thank you Lord for a good and loving husband in MS. Thank you Lord for my beautiful-beautiful daughter. Thank you Lord for my family! I have a very strong support system in them. That definitely takes out so much stress in my life :).
