Chapter one of Proverbs says there is a simple method that will provide what you need to learn to relax.
Proverbs 1: 33 MSG "First pay attention to me, and then relax. Now you can take it easy--you're in good hands
Doing life right. Right living - you know, be righteous. Practicing righteousness.
Practicing righteousness is not a mystery - it is a discipline of being absorbed with God - hearing the Word, retaining it and preserving it. The result. Living a relaxed life.
Being God-absorbed - seems like it should be very simple, doesn't it? Just how do we listen to God? It is a process of reading, meditating, praying and being aware that God does speak to us in our thoughts, in images He brings to our mind, and in verses of Scripture that suddenly arise in our thinking.
The result is not more money, more power, and more prestige. It is relaxation. Taking it easy. Resting in the good hands that only God - not Allstate - provides.
Self-absorbed equals anxiety. God-absorbed equals relaxation. The choice should be clear.
Have you chosen to relax?
