Title: Praying When I'm Stressed (1)
Series: Give Me That Attitude
Author: Scott Maze
Text: Psalm 4
I want to talk to you about turning to God prayer to destress your home for the next few minutes.
We launch a new series where we are looking at four attitudes that every home should have in the coming weeks.
I invite you to find Psalm 4 with me.
Children and parents are stressed! Parents face stress as they balance the needs at work with time with family. The Surgeon General reports that 4 in 10 parents face so much stress they cannot function most days.1 The Surgeon General reports found that 65 percent of parents and 77 percent of single parents report feeling lonely. Then, there is the "alarming" increase in the number of teens facing mental health issues.2 Children face stress from academic success, peer pressure, and dealing with divorced parents. People try Xanax, yoga, and meditation to destress.
Psalm 4 is a prayer for your family in times of distress. We know who wrote this psalm-David. And we also know it's a prayer for times of stress. But we don't know the exact reason for David's distress. David shows us that prayer is a powerful antidote to the stress in our families and in our lives.

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.
There are many who say, "Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!"
You have put more joy in my heart
than they have ...
