Health Message (August 01, 2026)

Good Sabbath Church,

It can be such a difficult time to be stressed out about challenging situations. Syres affects our health in many ways. Stress can increase your heart rate, putting you at risk for heart problems. It can lower your immune system, disturb your mental and emotional health or even your digestive system.

Faith has been scientifically proven to relieve stress. Your relationship with God has probably shown this to be true at different times. Prayer and reflection can bring us the calmness we yearn for as God brings us comfort. Also fellowship and having the loving support of our brothers and sisters.

Sister White has counseled that:

"Our anxiety and fear grieve the Holy Spirit of God. We should not indulge in a solicitude which only frets and wears us, but does not help us to bear trials."

"If we educate our souls to have more faith, more love, greater patience, a more perfect trust in our heavenly Father, we would have more peace and happiness as we pass through the conflicts of this life."

"When we really believe that God loves us and means to do us good we shall cease to worry about the future. We shall trust God as a child trusts a loving parent. Then our troubles and torments will disappear."

Matthew 17:19-20

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Faith is good for our whole wellbeing.

Your Sister in Christ, Sandra Torres
