Sharing your problems with your trusted friend or family
member will help you relieve stress. However if they are the stressors in your
situation a guidance counselor would be a better alternative. Most churches
offer counseling services for free or you could seek out a professional.

the same time relaxing your body. When you share your problems with God, you
allow yourself to heal by releasing your problems that have been giving you
stress. Do not know how to pray visit Victory International for a prayer on depression.
