Stress and Spiritual Gifts

1 Corinthians 12 is not typically where I would direct someone struggling with stress.  But it was where I was reading this morning when God granted me an extra measure of peace.  The latter half of the chapter talks about the body of Christ and how we are part of that body.
Much of our stress in life and work and family is that we picture ourselves as alone in the situation.  We feel and allow ourselves to feel we are carrying it all.  We aren’t.  Even in our individual responsibilities – we have helpers and help from.  We are part of a network, part of a body and for that, Lord, we are indeed grateful.
