"To blessed to be stressed" is nonsense. Dealing with flooding, with family crisis, mental illness, job pressures, etc...these things are stresses. They heighten emotional and physical reactions, and that is not sin. Jesus was stressed in the Garden of Gethsemane. To be blessed means to know that God is with you in the midst of those stressful situations, so that your emotional and physical reality is not the only reality. Regular prayer attunes our hearts, minds and bodies to this deeper reality, so that when stresses come - and they will - we will not succumb to despair, but can remember that we know One who is acquainted with all stress and sorrow, and who stands at our side with us.
