In this section, you will complete a quick and honest self-assessment. You will use your journal to rate your current stress level on a “stress scale” (1–10) to create awareness and spark group connection.
By the end, you will be able to walk away with a number, a stressor, and your first moment of surrender, giving you a baseline to compare against later in the session.
Before we can truly manage stress, we have to first manage how we think about it. Most of us are not just battling busyness, we’re battling our belief systems around control, time, and worth. In this teaching, we’ll explore how God’s Word offers a framework for peace through mindset shifts, prioritization, organization, and delegation, so that we stop carrying what was never ours to hold... Stress.
In this section, I strongly encourage you to participate in this activity and DO NOT skip- remember, you paid for this course, so let it work for you :)
You will have an opportunity to write your own simple breath prayer to carry with you. This is important, because stressors or better yet triggers are inevitable, and sometimes instead of running from the problem and burying it, we need to find something that keeps us grounded.
Peace isn’t found in perfection, it’s cultivated through rhythm. This section invites you to pause and find balance in the movement of your everyday life. Through simple, faith-centered practices and mini quiz, you’ll learn how to prioritize what truly matters, organize your days with purpose, and delegate with grace. These rhythms aren’t about doing more, but about doing what aligns with God’s timing. As you walk through this part of the lesson, allow peace to meet you in motion, steady, intentional, and Spirit-led.
As you reach the end of Stress Management: Cast Your Cares, take a moment to pause and breathe.
You’ve journeyed through reflections, tools, and truths that all point to one powerful reality, stress doesn’t have to control you.
Yes, life will continue to bring its share of demands. Deadlines will still exist. Bills will still come. People will still require your time and attention. But the difference now is this: the weight of it all no longer rests on your shoulders.
You were never designed to carry everything alone.
Casting your cares isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a declaration of freedom. It’s choosing to trust the One who holds all things together, even when you cannot. It’s letting go of what’s too heavy so that peace finally has room to enter.
As you close this course, take each lesson with you, not just as knowledge, but as a rhythm for daily living.
Remember: stress management isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a lifestyle of surrender, a continual choice to pause, pray, plan, and proceed.
May this journey remind you that peace isn’t found in doing more; it’s found in drawing closer to God.
