Luke 10:38–42 KJV 1900

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

A new Gallup poll suggests the level of stress among Americans has not changed much in recent years. Since 1984, between 33 percent and 42 percent of Americans continue to report they are under stress frequently. Most recently, 38 percent of respondents said they experience frequent stress and 39 percent said they sometimes feel stressed. The major causes of stress reported were parenting children under 18, work, and not having enough time to do the things people want to do. One in five respondents said they rarely experienced stress, while 3 percent said they were never stress
