What helps you calm down when you're feeling stressed/anxious?

So you say.

You fall in the ‘Can’t Accept It’ category.

Hah! Nice try.
I don’t accept that it means being born and dying over and over again.
I DO accept that Jesus was talking the spirit of the word and that not all are ready to bear/accept the spirit of the words from God yet.

Christian toughness is a POWER thing that sweeps away anxiety and stress..

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of POWER, of love and of self discipline..that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured" (2 Tim 1:7,Col 4:12)
"I am full of POWER, judgement and might by the spirit of the Lord" (Micah 3:8)
"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine POWER to demolish strongholds" (2 Cor 10:4)
"Our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with POWER"- (1 Thess 1:5)
"Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty POWER" (Ephesians 6:10)
"After Jesus spent the night in prayer, everybody tried to touch him because POWER was coming from him" (Luke 6:12-19)

Hi Siddhi. So glad you are here.

In answer to your question about what helps a Christian to calm down....

I think we usually have the peace of Christ in our hearts and minds. However, in stressful times, maybe we can get a little anxious.

In those times, besides praying, try to remember comforting Scripture verses. If you memorize some comforting verses (God's promises), you can think upon them when you get anxious.


6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Meditate on These Things​

8Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9
