  So as you heard in the intro, if you haven't heard it already,
• 2:23
  since you're just coming onto TikTok, we want to welcome in Raven.
• 2:27
  We want to welcome in 86 Auto World, Kristen, and all of you that are joining us on TikTok.
• 2:32
  The introduction was quite simple.
• 2:34
  It's about stress. Many of us deal with stress on different levels.
• 2:38
  Many of us deal with stress on an hourly, on a weekly, on a daily basis. We do.
• 2:45
  Now, you can love life. You can have a great, you know, a day,
• 2:49
  but you still have a little bit of stress. Let's be honest, right?
• 2:51
  And here's where the stress comes in. Good morning. Sunshine to you too.
• 2:56
  Go Mets. The stress that I feel that's happening for me, where I feel like I'm
• 3:01
  burning the candles at both ends is something that I put on myself.
• 3:05
  And that is ministry school, having three different podcasts that I'm doing,
• 3:11
  two I'm producing, and then of course, Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 3:14
  Not to mention that my full-time job as a father, as a husband,
• 3:18
  and also of course my full-time job, which I'm about to go in after I do this episode.
• 3:23
  But you know what's funny? Last night I'm sitting on the couch, everybody's asleep.
• 3:28
  I'm trying to do my homework. And I'm so stressed out because I got so much
• 3:32
  to do this week that I said, wait a minute, let me take a few seconds, a few moments to pause.
• 3:38
  And you know what I forgot to do? And I forgot to pray to God and say, look, I'm stressed.
• 3:44
  Lord, I don't know how to manage my time efficiently.
• 3:52
  And I need you to calm me down, set me clear so that I can figure out the best way. Thanks, Tim.
• 4:00
  The best way possible to make sure that I do things accurately and I don't put
• 4:06
  my health or my decisions that make things, you know, erratic.
• 4:12
  And sure enough, I felt this peace come over me. It wasn't instantaneously.
• 4:16
  I'm not going to sit here and make that up.
• 4:19
  Within that hour, around 11 o'clock at night, I felt this peace come over me.
• 4:24
  And then I got tired. And so I said, it was time to go to sleep. And I did.
• 4:29
  When I woke up this morning, I had so much energy.
• 4:32
  I mean, listen, I did have a cup of coffee, but I did have energy.
• 4:37
  And one of the things that I was grateful for was that I was able to take a few moments to pray.
• 4:43
  So this is my, this is my prayer for each and every one of you this morning
• 4:47
  many of us are going to deal with stress many of us are going to deal with uncertainty
• 4:54
  of what that stress will bring,
• 4:56
  but here's the one thing that will guarantee you oh summer's here oh it's good to see you,
• 5:02
  when we deal with stress whether it's through losing a loved one having stress
• 5:07
  in our jobs missing a loved one or thinking of what your past may have done
• 5:14
  to you, what you want to do tomorrow,
• 5:17
  whether if your job is affecting you, whether your business is not where you
• 5:24
  want it to be, where you've been diagnosed with cancer or any type of illness,
• 5:28
  mental illness, good morning, summer,
• 5:31
  love you. I want you to understand something.
• 5:34
  Nobody in this world is perfect. there's only one perfect person that's god
• 5:38
  and even god in human form made mistakes.
• 5:43
  But we all learn from our mistakes. We have to take the stress that's in our
• 5:47
  lives and leave it at the feet of God.
• 5:51
  God will help us. I've said this before.
• 5:54
  Yes, prayers may not get answered immediately, but if you ask God to help you
• 6:00
  calm yourself down, no medication in the world will do better than the medication of the power of prayer.
• 6:07
  God wants you to know this morning, as he told me within my own thoughts, I've got you.
• 6:14
  That's right, Tim. Jesus was perfect. He's the only person we want in the world.
• 6:18
  That's what I meant when I said God is the only perfect one.
• 6:20
  Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You're right.
• 6:24
  God has us in the palm of his hands. God will not allow us to fail.
• 6:28
  God believes in you. God trusts in you. God loves you, and he's never,
• 6:34
  ever, ever going to leave our side.
• 6:36
  So as we wake up this morning, if you're feeling a little bit of stress,
• 6:41
  hear this prayer right now.
• 6:43
  It's the prayer that he taught us. Now there's different versions,
• 6:47
  but this is the one that I do.
• 6:49
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 6:53
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 6:59
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
• 7:05
  debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
• 7:08
  Deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom. the power and the glory forever and ever.
• 7:16
  Amen. Let me close out the podcast and I'll continue on TikTok.
• 7:21
