What does the Bible tell us about enduring stressful time periods in life?
Prayer and the Bible.
There are various verses in the Bible which tackle the never-ending stressful points in one’s life. Even in Biblical times, people experienced the same fears, heartbreak, and stresses that we do today. Here are some examples of these Bible verses to reflect on.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Matthew 6:34
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Luke 12:22
And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.
James 1:2-4
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Hebrews 13:5-6

A prayer is an expression or act that aims to initiate a relationship with an object of devotion through intentional communication. The phrase is used to describe an act of prayer or intercession made to a divine or a venerated ancestor in the strict meaning. In a broader sense, prayer can be used to express gratitude or appreciation. It is also strongly related to more esoteric types of meditation and spells or charms in religion and philosophy.
You have the option of praying in private and alone or in a group setting with other people of faith. A continuous “intellectual journey,” which involves ongoing dialogue with a deity, might include prayer. Many people meditate and pray throughout the day, asking for direction as the time passes. Whereas enforcement is neither practicable nor desired, it is actually viewed as necessary in a number of Christian denominations.
It is possible to pray alone or with others, as part of a predetermined ritual or liturgy, and in a number of settings. A song, invocation, specific creedal expression, or an impromptu outburst from the praying individual can all be considered forms of prayer.
Written texts from as long as 5000 years ago attest to the practice of prayer. Presently, prayer is a central component of major faiths. Certain religions perform ritualistic prayer, involving a set of steps to be followed or setting restrictions on who is allowed to pray, whereas others preach that anyone can pray freely at any moment.
