Stress

Some say that stress brings out the best in them. 

Stress does not bring out the best in me.  I know this because the best in me is the fruit of the Spirit.  And when I'm stressed I don't see myself being very loving, joyful, peaceful, forbearing, kind, good, faithful, gentle or self-controlled.

You would think that in times when I need to rely on God the most, I would exhibit the fruit of the Spirit the most.  Just more proof (for me) that I am still stubborn in my pride and necessity to control.

Thank You for helping me in my unbelief.
