Objective: Students will recognize areas of stress in their lives and commit to drawing closer to God to find relief.

Key Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7

Key Thought: Peace is possible.

Lesson Summary: Tonight’s lesson is the first of a four-part series called “Deal With It: A Biblical Approach to Tough Topics.” This series, as you could guess, is designed to help students discover a biblical approach to some rather difficult topics. Stress was the first topic in our series. What does the Bible have to say about stress? Is it possible, in the middle of our stressful world to have peace?

Yes, peace is possible and tonight we discovered how it is possible to find peace. The Bible tells us to talk to God and to come to God when we are in stressful situations. Talking to God in prayer is one thing but coming to God demonstrates great trust. He has promised us that His burden is light.

At the end of the lesson, your student was challenged to write down one area of stress in his/her life. After writing it down, he/she was asked to craft a prayer and figure out a time when he/she will get alone with God this week to talk to Him about the thing that is causing the most stress.

Make a point to pray for your student this week as he/she focuses on finding peace that is possible in Jesus Christ.
