There are a lot of things that stress can do for you, and almost all of them are bad! Did you know that stress can cause a wound to take an average of nine days longer to heal?

    That is just one of the things medical researchers have found out in testing the effects of stress. Researchers also found, according to new information recently published in the latest medical journal, that psychological stress leaves us more vulnerable to infection by stopping the immune system from operating at peak efficiency.

    Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.” Now that doesn’t mean we ought not plan responsibly for tomorrow, but it does mean that we don’t need to worry and fret.

    Christians don’t worry because we know who holds today together. Thank God, and God bless.
