Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren.

And today, we're continuing our series called The Habits of Happiness.

In this series, Rick dives into the book of Philippians and helps you discover God's path to true and lasting happiness.

suicide has now passed car crashes as the number one injury death in America.

The number one injury death in America is now suicide.

I read another statistic that the top seven stresses in life are,

number one, your job. Number two, money.

Three, health, relationships, poor diet, media overload, lack of sleep, and parking at saddleback.

Oh, I made up that last one, obviously.

Maybe you could identify with this.

I don't sleep well, and I live in a constant state of fatigue. I told my doctor that I started a business seven years ago

that's become very, very successful,

but I now must force myself to go in to work.

I feel overwhelmed.

I feel overloaded.
