This week was very stressful for many of my co-workers. Changes are making them feel less appreciated, and seems as if every complaint has to do with their own job performances. Even the supervisor is under stress to promote a team that is often looked on as too relaxed. Changes from work orders to dress codes has caused some a tremoudous amount of stress to them on the job.
However, there is one sure way I use to cope with job stress and I have found it most rewarding in handling anything that comes my way. This is through conducting a daily meditation of the Word. Daily meditation is the beginning of facing and defeating stress regarding places you go, and people you are around. A no stress life can become a reality for you, but learning how is the "essential key" to ridding oneself of day to day stress and even coping with employment changes-- or any changes and effects which causes you stressful situations.
LOOK-- "Who is really in the chair?"
You are the one in the chair and though you may have developments and changes that come toward you, you are always the one in the filling the seat. You will find you are not alone in the chair. Your faith, your trust, your meditation will give you strength which the Lord has so freely allowed is within you. There is nothing God cannot not manage... Including your stress and the changes that come with living in this present man's world. Make it a daily habit to seclude yourself in meditation with God in your innermost thoughts. Even when you have little or no words to speak with God make sure you make this time day after day. Talk with God even if you utter one word of only "Help" God will hear you and is there with you in your cry. Trust God to handle you in sitting in the chair, and live joyfully knowing all things are for one purpose or another. Stress can give you reasons to seek God for stronger dedication to him. Allow your meditation to grow so that when you're sitting in the chair nothing that comes which is negative will be absorbed. Ease your mind... the Spirit of God is sitting with you.
"These be they who separte themselves,
sensual, having not the Spirit.
But you beloved, building up yourselves
on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
[Jude: 19-20]
"Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith,
Today, if ye will hear his voice."
[Hebrews: 3:7]
"And take up the sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God;
Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit."
[Ephesians: 6:17-18]
Allow the Word of God to give you comfort in changes of anykind. Even at work you have God with you to grant you an eased mind and security. Trust God that with him nothing can be against you. Not even having a stressful place to work. Your life is filled with the peace God has given you to be joyful.
Let the words of my mouth the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O' Lord my strength and my redeemer.
[Psalm: 19:14]
BLESSINGS,
