"My help cometh from the Lord which made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:2
Holidays in general are stressful. They are an exciting time for people, but the world has added expectations that make the holidays a demanding time... especially Christmas. We spend too much, we eat too much, we go too much, we commit too much, and little by little we become overwhelmed.
This often creates a feeling of helplessness. We begin to feel like we are just trying so hard, but we can't seem to focus on the simplicity God has given us.
Christmas is fresh on our minds because it was yesterday, and so many people are still reeling from the overextension. God does not want us to operate in that state. It is unhealthy for our minds and bodies, and does not foster a strong relationship with Christ. God promises to help us. He made the heavens and the earth, and He can surely handle our seasonal stress!
