Often we try to control situations that we perceive as potentially stressful but actually we can have more stress in trying to be in control. Really, a point of natural stress is when we have to decide between more than one choice. Once we make the decision we can move forward calmly. This is where being in God's Kingdom gives us peace. We have His guidelines in the first place but when we have to make a decision which doesn't seem to have obvious guidelines, we can go to God and ask Him to specifically guide us. His guidance could come in many forms, such as through us finding the perfect verse for that time, having perfectly timed advice from another, reading something which happens to help etc. Let us enjoy the peace in God's Kingdom recognising the reality of having "crunch times" in our lives when we do need to make a decision so there is natural tension in those times. "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known (Jeremiah 33:3)
