Our feelings are real and they are powerful, but they are not more powerful than God and truth.

Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.
What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.
Love and Self-control are the bookends of the fruit of the Spirit. Remove one of them and the rest fall over.
