SEATTLE, May 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- An author from Seattle claims to have cracked the stress code, supported by numerous medical studies as well as the Bible. Michael Trillo, author of "What Does God Really Want: How to Overcome Stress and Live The Promised Abundant Life" issued this statement:

"God uses stress as life's great alarm system to alert us that we are living outside of our God-given purpose, which is to develop loving relationships." Jesus supported this premise in Matthew 22:34-40.

Trillo adds, "The truth is, two people can be experiencing the same exact thing, with one being completely stressed, while the other is completely content. What's the difference? It's their internal state, not their external circumstances, that causes stress. Most people don't understand why they are stressed, and some are in denial, even though their health is screaming at them that they are stressed."

According to WebMD, Center for Disease Control, leading cellular biologists, and many other medical and scientific experts, 90% to 95% of all doctor visits are for stress-related disorders.

"The simple fact of the matter is that stress is caused only by situations (fear) and people (bitterness). Fear and bitterness are the real issues at hand, but instead we water it down by calling it stress. When we get separated from God, we are fearful and anxious. This then separates us from others and ourselves, causing bitterness and anger. So why are some more fearful and bitter than others? Counterfeit purposes."

"When all is said and done, why is it that Christians are just as stressed as the rest of the world, considering that we're serving a supernatural God?"

In Michael's book, he shines new light on the root cause of stress, explains the four most common counterfeit purposes, and reveals the surprising link between stress and your health—supported by numerous medical studies. He also provides scientifically proven principles in overcoming stress and living the promised abundant life.
