<p>Missypie - I’ve been thinking about your situation for a few days and wanted to reply.</p>
<p>I know how hard it is to stop and pray when you are right in the middle of a stressful situation. I have trouble with it, also.</p>
<p>Sometimes I am able to calm myself down by thinking about how somebody else would love to have my problem on that particular day - someone who is dealing with something much, much worse - for instance, the sickness or death of a child. Makes my stressful situation seem so insiginificant. Also, I actually stop and think “If this is the worse thing that happens to me today, than I am pretty darn lucky”. And it’s true.</p>
<p>Also, as a Christian, know that the world is watching you and how you react to situations. They are thinking if you REALLY trust in God and know that HE is in control, why are you so upset. I wish that I could follow my own advice about this. lol.</p>
<p>And breathe - I have a friend at work who reminds me to take a deep breath when I get stressed, and it really does make a difference.</p>
