Grounded by Stress – When Pressure Becomes a Way of Life

Stress was never meant to be a permanent residence—but for many, it has quietly become a way of life. Grounded by Stress confronts the reality of living under constant pressure and exposes how unaddressed stress can immobilize faith, cloud discernment, strain relationships, and erode spiritual vitality.

This sermon explores how stress, when unmanaged and unchecked, can ground us—keeping us from moving forward in purpose, walking in peace, and trusting God fully. Drawing from Scripture, we examine the difference between carrying responsibility and carrying burdens God never intended us to bear. We will uncover how pressure builds, why it lingers, and how it subtly replaces rest with survival mode.

More importantly, this message points to God’s invitation to release what weighs us down and reclaim a life anchored in His strength, not our strain. Listeners will be challenged to identify stressors, recognize warning signs, and rediscover the power of rest, surrender, and renewed trust in the Lord.

This sermon is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck under the weight of constant demands—and is ready to move from being grounded by stress to being anchored in God’s peace.
